The largest disclosed round in this Umeå set is LipUm’s $9M (2026-03-10), which dwarfs every other disclosed amount here: the next-largest disclosed rounds are $3M (Senseworks on 2025-02-15 and Elastisys on 2023-09-07), followed by $2M (Betagenon AB on 2021-06-02) and $800K (Original Creation on 2026-07-07). Sector-wise, biotechnology shows up repeatedly (LipUm and Betagenon AB), and there’s a clear stage classification pattern: 4 of the 5 entries list “Series Unknown” (LipUm, Senseworks, Elastisys, and Betagenon AB), with only Original Creation showing a “Seed” label (2026-07-07).
Temporally, these rounds span 2021-06-02 to 2026-07-07, and most of the visible activity clusters in the most recent years, with three entries dated 2025 or later (Senseworks 2025-02-15, LipUm 2026-03-10, Original Creation 2026-07-07). Geographically, all five entries list Umeå, Sweden, reinforcing that this is a fully city-local set rather than a multi-city comparison.
