How to read these tables
- Stage is the company's stage as Recent Funding lists it, which comes from the sources. Outlets do not agree on where seed ends, so a few very large rounds are labelled seed.
- Amount is the company's latest recorded round. Each amount links to the article or listing it came from, and the Source column names the publisher or site.
- Announced is the round date in the data, or n/a when there is none.
- Amounts without a source URL are left out. How Recent Funding sources funding data explains where amounts come from.

The two largest are humans& ($480M) and Walden Robotics ($300M). Seed amounts of 100 million USD or more go on the funding pipeline's review list, because an earlier review found valuations and acquisition prices stored as raises. Open the source before you quote a figure of this size.

The same ranking is one API call away. sort=raise orders companies by the amount of their latest round:
curl "https://recentfunding.com/api/v1/companies?stage=seed&sort=raise&limit=20"
To list rounds by date instead of by company, use /api/v1/rounds?stage=seed&since=2026-09-01. That filters on the round's own stage, which can differ from the company's. The API docs cover every parameter.
