The disclosed funding in this Wichita-focused slice is highly concentrated: Wichita State University’s $51M Grant (2022-09-02) is the only round above $50M and dwarfs the remaining disclosed amounts, which sit at $2M for PLOT Communications (2023-06-05), WorkTorch (2022-11-07), and Envision (2022-11-03), and $1M for QuickHire (2021-11-15). The only non-disclosed item is Incent (Financial Services, 2025-02-19, undisclosed), which prevents a clean funding-size comparison for that latest entry.
Timing shows a mid-period cluster: four of the six rows fall between 2022-09-02 and 2022-11-07 (Wichita State University, Envision, WorkTorch), while the oldest disclosed round here is QuickHire on 2021-11-15. Sector coverage is narrow, with Administrative Services appearing twice (WorkTorch on 2022-11-07 and QuickHire on 2021-11-15), and two entries are labeled “Series Unknown” (Incent and Envision) in addition to the single “undisclosed” amount.
