Among the 42 Utrecht-based companies shown, disclosed round sizes span from a $100K pre-seed (pili.nl on 2021-02-01) up to a $300M disclosed round for Merus on 2025-06-03, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., $83M for Lava Therapeutics on 2020-09-17, $74M for ViCentra on 2021-12-16, and $62M for Channable on 2022-02-01). Stage and disclosure are also uneven: five entries are marked “undisclosed” and 18 are “Series Unknown,” so comparisons frequently rely on disclosed amounts like CryoCloud’s $2M seed (2025-05-06) versus Gradyent’s $31M Series B (2025-04-02).
Temporal clustering appears near the top of the table: six rounds fall between 2025-10-17 and 2025-05-06 (Whoppah 2025-10-17 for $1M; Guideways AI 2025-11-10 for $1M; plus CryoCloud, Florbs, Gradyent, and Withthegrid). Sector-wise, AI appears repeatedly (Guideways AI 2025-11-10, Gradyent 2025-04-02, Orbisk 2024-12-10, Moveshelf 2022-10-05, Beyond Weather 2024-04-24, Withthegrid 2025-03-19), alongside multiple biotechnology entries such as Merus (2025-06-03, $300M), TargED Biopharmaceuticals (2022-02-19, $44M), and Lava Therapeutics (2020-09-17, $83M). The shown window runs from 2020-09-17 (Lava Therapeutics) through 2025-11-10 (Guideways AI).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in Utrecht, and how far above the rest is it?
Merus’ $300M round on 2025-06-03 is the only disclosed amount at that level in the table and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed figures, including $83M (Lava Therapeutics on 2020-09-17) and $74M (ViCentra on 2021-12-16).
Do any specific date windows concentrate funding activity among the most recent Utrecht entries?
Yes. Between 2025-10-17 and 2025-05-06, six rounds appear: Whoppah ($1M, 2025-10-17), Guideways AI ($1M, 2025-11-10), and four additional rounds in the spring 2025 cohort (CryoCloud $2M on 2025-05-06; Florbs $1M on 2025-04-02; Gradyent $31M on 2025-04-02; Withthegrid $2M on 2025-03-19).
How often is stage information missing or labeled “unknown,” and does that affect comparing sizes?
Stage is missing in two ways: 18 entries are “Series Unknown,” and 5 entries are “undisclosed” on amount. In practice, this makes disclosed-size comparisons skew toward rows with known amounts like Gradyent ($31M, 2025-04-02) and Channable ($62M, 2022-02-01) rather than rows where amounts are “undisclosed” (e.g., SurePay on 2025-06-03).
Are there over-represented sectors in this Utrecht list based on repeated appearance?
AI shows up in multiple rows across years (Guideways AI 2025-11-10, Gradyent 2025-04-02, Orbisk 2024-12-10, Moveshelf 2022-10-05, Beyond Weather 2024-04-24, Withthegrid 2025-03-19). Biotechnology is also repeatedly present (Merus 2025-06-03 for $300M; TargED Biopharmaceuticals 2022-02-19 for $44M; Lava Therapeutics 2020-09-17 for $83M).
What stage mix dominates the high-value rounds, given disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed rounds are not confined to early stages: Merus is listed as “Series Unknown” with $300M (2025-06-03), while other very large disclosed rounds include ViCentra as “Series C” with $74M (2021-12-16) and Channable as “Series B” with $62M (2022-02-01). At the same time, smaller disclosed entries frequently show “Pre-Seed” or “Seed” labels, such as pili.nl at $100K (Pre-Seed, 2021-02-01) and CryoCloud at $2M (Seed, 2025-05-06).
