Stark's €500M round closes within 48 hours, lands as fourth-largest in 30 days

Stark's €500M raise, closed on 23 June 2026, is the largest single deal in the current 48-hour window, which totals €971M across 33 transactions, meaning Stark's round alone accounts for roughly 51% of that period's volume. Across the broader 30-day view, it ranks fourth among the ten largest rounds, sitting behind Pure Data Centres (€2,320M), Neura Robotics (€1,213M), and Kpler (€861M), and just ahead of Iceye's €450M Series D+. The 30-day market itself has grown to €10,275M across 263 deals, up from €8,934M across 237 deals in the prior equivalent period, a roughly 15% increase in capital and 11% in deal count.

At the country level, Stark's round contributes to Germany's 30-day total of €2,499M from 31 deals, placing it second among all tracked countries. The UK leads with €3,931M from 65 deals, meaning Germany records a higher average deal size (approximately €80.6M per deal) compared to the UK's approximately €60.5M. Germany's 30-day figure also includes Neura Robotics' €1,213M Series C and Isar Aerospace's €270M Series D+, making Stark the second-largest German round in the window. Belgium ranks third overall at €928M, largely driven by Kpler's single €861M transaction.

Stark's stage classification of "Other" places it alongside Kpler and PhysicsX among the 30-day top ten rounds using that designation, a category that collectively spans a wide size range within the period's deal set.
