On stages and disclosure, “Series Unknown” appears on 9 of 18 rows (including Stephano Slack LLC on 2026-06-10 and Verdafresh on 2026-05-28), while “undisclosed” amounts show up on 3 of 18 (e.g., Stephano Slack LLC, Verdafresh, and Nurses 24/7 on 2023-07-12).
Geographically, most entries are labeled “Wayne, Pennsylvania” (15 of 18), but three sit outside it: Wayne, Michigan (Jack Demmer Automotive Group, 2025-07-17), Wayne, Illinois (INGENIOUS.BUILD, 2023-11-16), and Wayne, New Jersey (Nurses 24/7, 2023-07-12).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Wayne here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Palvella Therapeutics’ $200M disclosed round on 2026-02-25 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed figures are $68M for XyloCor Therapeutics (2025-01-07) and $41M for Cagent Vascular (2026-05-19). No other disclosed amount in the list is close to $200M.
Which disclosure patterns dominate this Wayne dataset, and do they meaningfully affect “largest” comparisons?
“Series Unknown” appears on 9 of 18 rows (including Stephano Slack LLC on 2026-06-10 and Traice Labs on 2026-04-02), while “undisclosed” amounts appear on 3 of 18 (e.g., Verdafresh on 2026-05-28 and Nurses 24/7 on 2023-07-12). Because those rows don’t provide amounts, the $200M Palvella Therapeutics round remains the largest disclosed number among entries with disclosed figures.
Are there tight date clusters in the most recent part of the timeline?
Yes. Five of the 18 rounds fall in 2025 (Aigensei 2025-12-01 $500K; Gnosko Bio 2025-10-16 $150K; Jack Demmer Automotive Group 2025-07-17 $740K; XyloCor Therapeutics 2025-01-07 $68M; plus Cornelis Networks is 2024). Separately, 2024-01-11 through 2024-03-01 contains multiple sizable disclosed rounds: The Main Line Chamber of Commerce ($20K on 2024-01-11), Golf Genius Software ($24M on 2024-02-13), and Cornelis Networks ($25M on 2024-03-01).
Is Wayne, Pennsylvania the dominant geography, or do other ‘Wayne’ cities materially show up?
Wayne, Pennsylvania accounts for 15 of 18 rows. The remaining entries are explicitly in other “Wayne” locations: Jack Demmer Automotive Group in Wayne, Michigan (2025-07-17), INGENIOUS.BUILD in Wayne, Illinois (2023-11-16), and Nurses 24/7 in Wayne, New Jersey (2023-07-12).
What stage mix stands out when you look at named stages versus unspecified ones?
Named stages (Seed, Series B, Series D, Series A) are present, but unspecified classifications dominate via “Series Unknown” on 9 of 18 rows plus one blank stage label for Cornelis Networks (2024-03-01, $25M). The clearest named-stage examples include Cagent Vascular’s Series D ($41M on 2026-05-19), XyloCor Therapeutics’ Series B ($68M on 2025-01-07), and Aigensei’s Seed ($500K on 2025-12-01).
Are there sector clusters, and do any sectors look unusually concentrated among the disclosed rounds?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears frequently across the list (Traice Labs on 2026-04-02, Aigensei on 2025-12-01, Gnosko Bio on 2025-10-16, and Cornelis Networks on 2024-03-01), while Biotechnology is also repeated (Palvella Therapeutics on 2026-02-25 and XyloCor Therapeutics on 2025-01-07, both with large disclosed amounts). Health Care appears multiple times as well, including Cagent Vascular ($41M on 2026-05-19) and GrayHawk Health ($13M on 2023-05-09), creating a pattern where life-science categories include some of the biggest disclosed figures.
