Valais’s most recent disclosed rounds show one clear size outlier: Swisspod’s $9M Seed round on 2025-06-01 dwarfs other disclosed amounts, with the next-largest being H55 at $73M (2024-07-24) and several others clustered below that level (e.g., DePoly $14M on 2023-06-27 and ExerGo Sàrl $3M on 2022-09-21). The disclosed amounts also cluster in mid-to-late 2023 and 2024 rather than evenly across years, spanning 2022-09-19 through 2025-06-01, with multiple entries in 2023 (DePoly 2023-06-27, Dufour Aerospace 2023-01-23) and 2024 (WattAnyWhere 2024-09-18 and H55 2024-07-24).
Geographically, the same-city pattern is strong: Sion appears in multiple rows (WattAnyWhere 2024-09-18 at $440K, H55 2024-07-24 at $73M, DePoly 2023-06-27 at $14M, ExerGo Sàrl 2022-09-21 at $3M), suggesting deal activity concentrated around Sion while Monthey (Swisspod) and Le Châble (The Faction Collective) add additional nodes. By sector and stage classification, energy shows up in two entries (WattAnyWhere and ExerGo Sàrl), while “Series Unknown” appears twice (WattAnyWhere and Swisspod’s 2022-12-12 entry) and “undisclosed” appears once (Dufour Aerospace on 2023-01-23).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Valais on this page, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
H55’s $73M round on 2024-07-24 is the largest disclosed amount shown; the next-largest disclosed figure is DePoly’s $14M on 2023-06-27, while Swisspod’s $9M on 2025-06-01 and ExerGo Sàrl’s $3M on 2022-09-21 sit materially below that top tier.
Do the rounds cluster in a narrow time window or are they spread evenly across years?
They’re concentrated rather than evenly distributed: there are multiple entries in 2024 (H55 on 2024-07-24 for $73M and WattAnyWhere on 2024-09-18 for $440K) and multiple in 2023 (Dufour Aerospace on 2023-01-23, DePoly on 2023-06-27 for $14M), while the full span runs from 2022-09-19 (The Faction Collective) to 2025-06-01 (Swisspod).
Is there a city over-represented among the listings, and does it align with specific large rounds?
Sion is the most repeated city with four entries: WattAnyWhere (2024-09-18, $440K), H55 (2024-07-24, $73M), DePoly (2023-06-27, $14M), and ExerGo Sàrl (2022-09-21, $3M). Other cities appear once or twice (Monthey: Swisspod in 2025-06-01 for $9M and again in 2022-12-12 with an undisclosed amount; Le Châble: The Faction Collective on 2022-09-19 for $8M; Visp: Dufour Aerospace on 2023-01-23, undisclosed).
What stage mix dominates this Valais set, considering only what’s disclosed here?
Seed appears in three rows with disclosed amounts (Swisspod 2025-06-01 at $9M; DePoly 2023-06-27 at $14M; ExerGo Sàrl 2022-09-21 at $3M), while Series C (H55 2024-07-24 at $73M) and Series B (Dufour Aerospace 2023-01-23, undisclosed) each appear once with a distinct profile. “Series Unknown” is also present twice (WattAnyWhere 2024-09-18 at $440K and Swisspod 2022-12-12 with an undisclosed amount).
Are there outliers worth a closer look beyond the largest round?
Yes: WattAnyWhere’s $440K on 2024-09-18 is a low disclosed figure relative to the rest, sitting well under DePoly’s $14M (2023-06-27) and Swisspod’s $9M (2025-06-01). Separately, Dufour Aerospace (Visp, 2023-01-23) is an undisclosed-amount entry, so its relative size can’t be benchmarked against the disclosed set.
