Across the 8 most recent Worcestershire-funded startups, the largest disclosed round is LiveStockEx’s $1M Seed on 2025-03-07; this dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (Kita’s $5M is the next figure above, while most other disclosed rounds are $820K or below, including Finexos at $820K on 2022-08-23 and COHO at $600K on 2022-08-05). The disclosed figures also show a concentration in older years: the earliest round shown is COHO on 2022-08-05, while the most recent is LiveStockEx on 2025-03-07, creating a multi-year spread rather than a single spike.
By geography and theme, Worcestershire’s coverage clusters in Worcester and its nearby towns: Worcester appears for Kita (2023-02-22, $5M), Access Support (2024-07-08, undisclosed), and COHO (2022-08-05, $600K), while Redditch also recurs with Avayler (2023-11-01, $3M) and Industrial Switchgear (2023-04-26, $10K). Stage-wise, 3 of 8 entries carry “Series Unknown/undisclosed” (Access Support on 2024-07-08 is undisclosed; Superior Freight on 2023-06-09 and Avayler on 2023-11-01 are “Series Unknown”), while 4 of 8 are Seed rounds (LiveStockEx, Kita, and COHO plus one additional Seed entry at $600K on 2022-08-05).

Frequently asked
What stands out in round size, and is there a clear top-end outlier?
LiveStockEx’s disclosed $1M Seed on 2025-03-07 is the only disclosed figure at exactly $1M in the list, sitting above several smaller disclosed rounds such as Industrial Switchgear’s $10K on 2023-04-26 and COHO’s $600K on 2022-08-05.
Do these Worcestershire rounds cluster by geography (city within the county)?
Worcester is over-represented among the shown companies: Kita (2023-02-22, $5M), Access Support (2024-07-08, undisclosed), and COHO (2022-08-05, $600K) all list Worcester, while nearby Redditch appears multiple times via Avayler (2023-11-01, $3M) and Industrial Switchgear (2023-04-26, $10K).
Which time window contains the most activity among the 8 entries?
There is a heavy cluster from 2023 through 2024: Avayler (2023-11-01, $3M), Superior Freight (2023-06-09, undisclosed), Industrial Switchgear (2023-04-26, $10K), Kita (2023-02-22, $5M), and Avayler’s 2023 round bracket most of the middle period, with Access Support arriving in 2024 (2024-07-08, undisclosed).
How much of the list has stage ambiguity versus explicit Seed labeling?
Stage is partially hidden: 3 of 8 entries are “Series Unknown/undisclosed” (Access Support on 2024-07-08 is undisclosed; Avayler on 2023-11-01 and Superior Freight on 2023-06-09 are “Series Unknown”). In contrast, 4 of 8 entries explicitly label Seed, including LiveStockEx (2025-03-07, $1M), Kita (2023-02-22, $5M), and COHO (2022-08-05, $600K).
Are there sector patterns or repeats worth targeting for diligence?
Financial Services appears as a repeat sector: Kita (Seed, 2023-02-22, $5M), Finexos (Venture - Series Unknown, 2022-08-23, $820K), and Kita’s $5M round sits alongside that second financial listing, suggesting at least two financially oriented startups in the shown set.
Which entries are closest to an investor’s “recent rounds” screen?
Within the most recent entries by date, LiveStockEx closed 2025-03-07 ($1M) and Access Support closed 2024-07-08 (undisclosed). The next-most-recent disclosed amount after those is Avayler on 2023-11-01 ($3M), before the list drops into mid-2023 (Superior Freight on 2023-06-09, undisclosed; Industrial Switchgear on 2023-04-26, $10K).
