这是一个每周专题，列出了本周在美国公布的前 10 大融资轮次 查看上周最大的融资轮次 相关信息.

After several weeks of just having one or two rounds of nine figures, this week saw an explosion. Eight rounds hit $100 million or more as big rounds seemed to pour in. No one sector cleaned up, as the money was spread around from cleantech to biotech to fintech to even restaurant-centric software.

1. 渐变色，225 亿美元，清洁技术： Gradiant became one of the newest unicorns this week after raising a fresh D轮融资225万美元 由...领着 博尔特洛克控股公司 和 半人马资本。这家水科技初创公司目前估值为 1 亿美元。该初创公司为制药、半导体、食品和饮料以及其他需水行业的公司开发减少用水量并建造废水处理系统的技术。至少自 2022 年初以来，这笔资金是废水处理领域最大的一笔资金。成立于 2013 年 麻省理工学院. The company has now raised more than $392 million, 根据Crunchbase.

2. Tipalti，150 亿美元，金融科技： Automated payment solution Tipalti raised big this week with a $150 million “incremental growth financing” round, as the company called it. Back in 2021, the Foster City, California-based fintech raised a $270 million Series F funding led by G平方 at a valuation of $8.3 billion. No valuation was given this time around — although that is not unusual in this time of slowing venture funding and declining valuation. The latest round was from 摩根大通银行 和 大力神资本, which specializes in venture debt, although no distinction between debt and equity was announced by Tipalti. Founded in 2010, Tipalti has now raised about $700 million, according to the company’s 释放.

3. 餐厅365，135 亿美元，会计： It’s hard to run a restaurant — as anyone who has watched several reality shows based on doing so knows. Restaurant365 tries to make that a little easier and this week the Irvine, California-based startup added some big-named backers. The company nailed down a $135 million round co-led by KKR 和 卡特顿。根据其新一轮融资，该公司估值为 1 亿美元 释放. Restaurant365 offers enterprise management software for restaurants, helping them take care of accounting, payroll, supply chain and more. The company has surpassed $100 million in revenue and is used in more than 40,000 restaurant locations. Founded in 2011, the company has raised more than $260 million, 每个Crunchbase.

4.（并列） 第一大道, $100M, property management: New York-based Avenue One also joined the unicorn herd this week with a $100 million raise led by 西开普. The cash infusion gave the company a valuation of $1 billion. The startup, founded in 2020, provides a handful of services to single-family rental investors — such as finding  their next property or financing. Institutional investors started buying up single-family homes during the pandemic as interest rates remained low and families sought more space. Even as interest rates have climbed back up, there clearly is still enough interest in the market to mint a property management startup as a unicorn.

4.（并列） 无限的生物，100亿美元，生物技术： It seems every week a biotech startup or two raise a huge round. This week is no different. First off is Boundless Bio, a clinical stage, next-generation precision oncology startup, which raised a $100 million Series C co-led by 拜耳的飞跃 和 RA资本管理. The San Diego-based startup is developing therapeutics directed against extrachromosomal DNA for patients with oncogene amplified cancers. In the past, targeted therapies have been mostly ineffective in treating patients with oncogene amplified cancers, according to the company. Founded in 2018, the company has raised more than $250 million, 每个Crunchbase.

4.（并列） 鹰眼网络，100 亿美元，安全： When a security company raises a nine-figure round, it is normal to assume it is referring to cybersecurity. However, not in this case. Eagle Eye Networks is an actual physical security company  — although with a tech twist. The company offers cloud-based video surveillance. Perhaps not the sexiest of industries, but still a significant market. The Austin, Texas-based startup locked up $100 million in a round led by Japan-based 世强. Founded in 2012, the firm has now raised $195 million, 根据Crunchbase.

4.（并列） Ray Therapeutics，100亿美元，生物技术： Another biotech was able to raise a nine-figure round this week. San Francisco-based Ray Therapeutics locked up a $100 million Series A led by 诺和控股公司. The startup is looking to restore vision for people with the rare blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. While some companies are looking to stop the disorder before it results in blindness, Ray differentiates itself by looking into therapeutics to actually bring back vision.  Founded in 2021, the company has now raised $110 million, 每个Crunchbase.

4.（并列） 压缩, $100M, procurement: Procurement software certainly is not the sexiest of industries, but there is no denying the need for systems that help companies with the burdensome process of buying new software and hardware. San Francisco-based Zip helps companies do just that and this week it raised a $ 100百万系列C 来自投资者 Y组合, CRV 和 老虎环球. The startup also bucked the trend of declining valuations. The new cash gives the procurement startup a $1.5 billion post-money valuation. While many companies are seeing stagnant or falling valuations, the new valuation represents a slight bump from its previous $1.2 billion valuation last May after the company raised a $43 million Series B. Zip helps companies with sourcing, approving and paying for needed business tools, ideally helping to streamline the process to make it less taxing. Founded in 2020, Zip has raised $181 million to date, per the company.

9. Nido Biosciences，87亿美元，生物技术： Watertown, Massachusetts-based Nido Biosciences, a biotech startup developing medicines for debilitating neurological diseases, announced it has raised a total of $109 million in seed, and Series A and B financings. Previous SEC filings (相关信息 和 相关信息) indicate the Series B — led by 生物发光企业 — likely was around $87 million.

10. 十五，77亿美元，电子商务： San Francisco-based luxury retailer Quince raised a $77 million Series B led by 惠灵顿管理. 公司成立于 2018 年，已融资 141.5 万美元， 根据Crunchbase, positioning it for accelerated growth and expansion.
