Among the 50 most recent Wilmington-area entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Vantaca’s $300M (Private Equity) on 2025-10-18; all other disclosed amounts are far below that figure, with the next-highest disclosed rounds at $300M as well (Quavo Fraud & Disputes on 2025-07-22) and $34M (Apono on 2025-11-18). This creates a steep size outlier: most disclosed rounds cluster in the low single-digit millions (e.g., Flyway Health at $4M on 2025-11-18; Definite at $10M on 2025-08-21), while a few entries reach the tens or hundreds of millions.
Geographically, the list is Wilmington-heavy but not exclusive: Wilmington, Delaware accounts for the majority of entries, while Wilmington, North Carolina appears with Ohanafy ($5M, 2025-11-27), Vantaca ($300M, 2025-10-18), and End of Days Distillery ($300K, 2024-12-12). Temporally, rounds span 2024-12-04 through 2025-11-27, with the most recent being Ohanafy on 2025-11-27, and multiple consecutive late-November rounds (e.g., Apono $34M on 2025-11-18; Attentive $31M on 2025-11-13). Sector and stage signals are also mixed: 13 of 50 entries show “undisclosed” amounts, and “Series Unknown” appears repeatedly alongside Seed and Pre-Seed rounds (e.g., Gamera $130K on 2025-11-09 is a Seed, while multiple venture rounds are labeled “Series Unknown”).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Wilmington list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Vantaca’s $300M disclosed round (Private Equity) on 2025-10-18 is an outlier; another $300M disclosed round appears for Quavo Fraud & Disputes on 2025-07-22, while the next-largest disclosed amounts after those are much smaller (e.g., Apono at $34M on 2025-11-18 and Attentive at $31M on 2025-11-13).
Do the rounds cluster in a narrow time window near the top of the list?
Yes. Late November has multiple back-to-back disclosed financings, including Apono ($34M, 2025-11-18), Attentive ($31M, 2025-11-13), Flyway Health ($4M, 2025-11-18), and Ohanafy ($5M, 2025-11-27), with rounds continuing through 2025-11-25 (Global Work AI at $2M).
Is Wilmington, Delaware over-represented versus nearby Wilmington-labeled geographies?
Wilmington, Delaware dominates the entries shown, with Wilmington, North Carolina appearing less often (Ohanafy at $5M on 2025-11-27, Vantaca at $300M on 2025-10-18, and End of Days Distillery at $300K on 2024-12-12). A few entries list other states while still matching the “Wilmington” label, such as Micro Medical Solutions in Wilmington, Massachusetts (2025-09-28, $2M).
Which stage labels repeat, and how does that interact with undisclosed amounts?
Seed and Pre-Seed appear frequently alongside “Series Unknown” and several undisclosed rounds. For example, multiple entries in the Seed/Pre-Seed range are disclosed (Gamera $130K on 2025-11-09; Needle $2M on 2025-03-03), while 13 of the 50 entries list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., MyPhysicianPlan on 2025-11-05 and Gamers Home on 2025-10-30), limiting comparability of stage-to-size patterns.
Are there small-ticket outliers that sit far below the rest of the disclosed distribution?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount is Gamera at $130K on 2025-11-09, which is far below most disclosed rounds in the dataset (e.g., 7BE at $100K on 2025-04-01 and xTiles at $100K on 2025-05-15 still sit low, but $130K marks the floor).
How do sectors cluster, especially where the list shows repeated categories?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears repeatedly across different financing sizes and dates (e.g., Attentive $31M on 2025-11-13, Flyway Health $4M on 2025-11-18, and Scrub.io labeled AI with undisclosed amount on 2025-03-19), while Biotechnology also recurs (iQure Pharma on 2025-11-08 with $2M, NRx Pharmaceuticals on 2025-01-28 with $4M). This creates an AI-heavy mix where disclosed rounds range from $130K (Gamera, 2025-11-09) to tens of millions (e.g., Attentive at $31M).
