Across these 50 recent funded entries, the largest disclosed round is Sol Systems at $675M on 2025-07-16, which dwarfs all other disclosed amounts in the table (the next-highest disclosed figures include Lydian Energy at $233M on 2025-07-09 and Sublime Security at $150M on 2025-11-02). The smallest disclosed amount is Empathium at $10K on 2025-11-30 (tied with ThinkStream.ai at $20K? no, only Empathium is $10K), creating a wide disclosure range from $10K to $675M.
Temporal and geography patterns are also visible. Most rounds cluster in the Washington, District of Columbia area rather than “Washington, United States” alone (e.g., Sol Systems, Lydian Energy, FiscalNote, and Virtru), and many of the biggest checks fall in July 2025 (Sol Systems $675M on 2025-07-16; Lydian Energy $233M on 2025-07-09). On stage, “Venture - Series Unknown” appears frequently alongside “Series Unknown,” while many records remain undisclosed (undisclosed amounts appear in multiple rows, including KGD Architecture on 2025-10-12). The visible round dates span 2024-12-05 through 2025-11-30.

Frequently asked
What stands out about the disclosed round sizes—are there clear outliers?
Yes. Sol Systems’ $675M round on 2025-07-16 is the only disclosed amount far above the rest; the next-largest disclosed amounts include Lydian Energy at $233M (2025-07-09) and Sublime Security at $150M (2025-11-02). At the low end, Empathium is disclosed at $10K on 2025-11-30.
Do recent rounds cluster into a specific date window?
A July 2025 cluster shows up for larger checks: Sol Systems ($675M on 2025-07-16), Lydian Energy ($233M on 2025-07-09), and World Central Kitchen ($250K on 2025-07-22) all appear within a few weeks. Looking at the full list, the table spans 2024-12-05 to 2025-11-30, with multiple entries concentrated in late 2025 (e.g., several on 2025-11-30).
Is there a geography concentration between “Washington, District of Columbia” and “Washington, United States”?
Multiple high-value rounds are explicitly labeled “Washington, District of Columbia,” including Sol Systems ($675M, 2025-07-16), FiscalNote ($75M, 2025-08-06), and Virtru ($50M, 2025-07-11). In contrast, “Washington, United States” appears on entries such as Procurement Sciences AI ($30M, 2025-11-06) and Empathium ($10K, 2025-11-30), suggesting a D.C. skew among the largest disclosed checks.
How does stage labeling behave across the list—do unknown stages dominate?
“Series Unknown” and “Venture - Series Unknown” recur across the most recent entries (for example, FiscalNote is “Series Unknown” at $75M on 2025-08-06; Sorcero is “Venture - Series Unknown” at $19M on 2025-10-09). Separately, undisclosed amounts appear alongside those stage labels, including KGD Architecture on 2025-10-12 and Hydrosat on 2025-07-03.
Which sectors show up repeatedly, and are any notable outside the main mix?
Artificial Intelligence appears in multiple entries across different checks and dates, including Procurement Sciences AI ($30M, 2025-11-06), Sublime Security (listed as “Information Technology,” but tied to security systems on 2025-11-02), Sorcero ($19M, 2025-10-09), and CalypsoAI ($5M, 2025-04-09). Meanwhile, very large rounds sit outside a single category: Sol Systems is Energy at $675M (2025-07-16), while Quindar is Hardware with $18M (2025-11-21).
