Among the 17 most recent Japan “Venture - Series Unknown” rounds shown, one disclosed amount stands out: Luup’s $28M on 2025-11-30, which is far above the rest of the disclosed rounds (the next-largest disclosed values are $9M for ROMS on 2025-09-12 and $7M for CELLORB on 2025-10-15). Amount disclosures are concentrated in mid-to-lower tiers, including multiple $2M–$5M rounds (e.g., Grooves $5M on 2025-11-12; Z-Works $5M on 2025-10-11; CoA Nexus $2M on 2025-10-31). Geographically, Tokyo dominates: 11 of 17 entries are based in Tokyo (e.g., Grooves in Minato, Z-Works and ROMS in Tokyo, and Bizibl Technologies on 2025-09-13), with the rest split across Osaka (Akari Hosho), Yokohama (SKY FARM), Izumo (Voicetep), Nishi (CELLORB), Itabashi (CoA Nexus), and Kawasaki (Vuild).
Timing is also clustered: the oldest row shown is 2025-09-10 (Vuild) and the most recent is 2025-11-30 (Luup), yielding a tight November-to-September window. On disclosure status, 7 of 17 entries list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Voicetep on 2025-11-22; SISI on 2025-10-30; WED on 2025-10-05). Sector-wise, no single vertical appears in 3+ entries in this slice, but there are repeated AI and B2B Software appearances across multiple companies (e.g., Synflux $2M on 2025-10-11; Z-Works $5M on 2025-10-11; Grooves $5M on 2025-11-12; WED is undisclosed on 2025-10-05).

Frequently asked
Which is the largest disclosed Japan “Venture - Series Unknown” round in this list, and how separated is it from the rest?
Luup’s $28M round (2025-11-30) is the only disclosed amount above $20M; the next-largest disclosed entries are ROMS at $9M (2025-09-12) and CELLORB at $7M (2025-10-15), leaving the remainder largely in the $1M–$5M band.
Is the disclosed funding amount distribution mostly mid-range, or are there multiple high-value rounds?
Disclosed rounds cluster below $10M for most entries: Grooves $5M (2025-11-12), Z-Works $5M (2025-10-11), CoA Nexus $2M (2025-10-31), Synflux $2M (2025-10-11), and Vuild $2M (2025-09-10). Only Luup’s $28M clearly sits apart, with ROMS ($9M) and CELLORB ($7M) forming the next tier.
Do most rounds close within a narrow date window, or are they spread out across the full period shown?
They’re concentrated in a relatively tight span from 2025-09-10 (Vuild) to 2025-11-30 (Luup). Several rounds land in November (e.g., Luup 11/30, Voicetep 11/22, Akari Hosho 11/12, Grooves 11/12), rather than evenly across the entire range.
Which geography dominates this segment, and are other cities meaningfully represented?
Tokyo is over-represented: 11 of 17 entries are Tokyo-based, including Luup (2025-11-30), ROMS (2025-09-12), and Bizibl Technologies (2025-09-13). The remaining 6 are spread across Osaka (Akari Hosho), Yokohama (SKY FARM), Izumo (Voicetep), Nishi (CELLORB), Itabashi (CoA Nexus), and Kawasaki (Vuild), with no second city matching Tokyo’s concentration.
How often are amounts undisclosed, and does that obscure any potential outliers?
7 of 17 entries are marked “undisclosed” (e.g., Voicetep 2025-11-22; SISI 2025-10-30; GEOFLA 2025-10-28; WED 2025-10-05; SKY FARM 2025-09-27). Even with those missing figures, the disclosed outlier remains identifiable because Luup’s $28M (2025-11-30) is the largest stated amount in the table.
Are there sector clusters in this slice, or is sector coverage broad across the 17 entries?
Sector coverage is broad: no single sector appears in 3+ entries in the shown rows, which reduces the likelihood of a tight sector thesis in this slice alone. Still, cross-cutting themes recur in the company blurbs—AI and/or B2B Software show up in multiple entries such as Synflux ($2M on 2025-10-11), Z-Works ($5M on 2025-10-11), Grooves ($5M on 2025-11-12), and WED (undisclosed on 2025-10-05).
