Disclosed funding in Washington’s most recent startup rounds is skewed by one very large outlier: MidOcean Energy’s $1.3B round (2026-03-17) sits far above the rest of the disclosed amounts, with the next-largest disclosed figure at $689M (Lydian Energy, 2026-02-17). Even among the higher tiers, the list is dominated by mid-to-upper growth disclosures: there are 4 disclosed rounds at or above $100M and 8 disclosed rounds at or above $50M, while the smallest disclosed round is Vulnetic’s $40K (2026-05-18).
The entries are also concentrated in time and location. Rounds span 2025-12-07 to 2026-08-04, with 44 of the 50 shown in 2026, and most companies are listed under Washington (all 50 rows). Sector clustering is visible as well: Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears 9 times, Health Care 6 times, and Energy 3 times, while stage labels are heavily weighted toward Series Unknown (29 of 50) versus more specific early and growth rounds like Seed (7) and Series A (5).

Frequently asked
What’s driving the size distribution in Washington’s latest disclosed rounds?
MidOcean Energy’s disclosed $1.3B (2026-03-17) is the only round above $1.0B and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount, Lydian Energy’s $689M (2026-02-17). Above $100M there are 4 disclosed rounds total, including Easterly Government Properties at $200M (2026-06-30) and Last Energy at $100M (2025-12-16).
Do the largest rounds cluster in a specific time window?
The top disclosed figures are not spread evenly across the full span (2025-12-07 to 2026-08-04). Several of the highest disclosed closes cluster in early-to-mid 2026, including Lydian Energy ($689M, 2026-02-17), MidOcean Energy ($1.3B, 2026-03-17), and Easterly Government Properties ($200M, 2026-06-30).
Are Washington-based cities or naming variants creating a geographic pattern here?
All 50 rows list Washington as the city, including entries explicitly tagged Washington, District of Columbia (e.g., State Affairs with $70M on 2026-07-14) and Washington, United States (e.g., Zeno Power with $4M on 2026-08-04). The only notable deviation in the city field is Washington, Pennsylvania for The Upper Crust ($80K, 2026-06-12) and Washington, New Hampshire for MidOcean Energy ($1.3B, 2026-03-17).
Which sectors appear most often, and is any one sector associated with the biggest rounds?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears 9 times, Health Care 6 times, and Financial Services 5 times, higher than Energy at 3. The very largest disclosed round is Energy-linked (MidOcean Energy, $1.3B on 2026-03-17), while other large disclosures include State Affairs ($70M, 2026-07-14) tied to AI, Government, and Politics labels.
How does stage labeling shape what’s disclosed versus undisclosed in this list?
Stage labels are dominated by Series Unknown (29 of 50), and the list includes 15 undisclosed amounts out of 50 total rows. Even so, clearly disclosed rounds show early and growth activity, including Seed-era $10M (Shifters AI, 2026-06-03) and Series B-era $31M (Airis Labs, 2026-05-27), alongside a large disclosed Series C round (Last Energy, $100M on 2025-12-16).
