About
FluoRok builds a chemical manufacturing platform for fluorochemicals that does not use hydrogen fluoride. The company post, Tech Funding News and EU-Startups call it an Oxford company or Oxford spin-out, so this page stores Oxford. Tech Funding News and EU-Startups say it was founded in 2022, so 2022 is stored. The company site is https://www.fluorok.com.
The company post is dated Nov 5, 2026, so the round date is 2026-11-05. The company post, BGF, Tech Funding News, EU-Startups and the issue agree on a $30 million Series A. $30,000,000 is stored. The company post also states £22.8 million. The issue says the raise brought the total amount raised to over $57 million. The company post gives $14 million in previous rounds and more than $13 million in public funding alongside this $30 million Series A, which can sum to over $57 million when grants are counted, but no total_disclosed figure is stored because the issue figure is approximate. Tech Funding News separately says total equity is around $44 million.
