Disclosed amounts in this France advertising set are led by Positive Group’s $110M round on 2022-11-08 (Hem, Nord-Pas-De-Calais). That $110M figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts in the rows ($51M for Artur'In on 2021-06-02; $43M for Pitchy on 2023-09-21; and $30M for JVWEB on 2021-05-17), while the rest of the disclosed rounds mostly sit between $2M and $15M (for example Greenbids $2M on 2023-06-01 and Olyzon $10M on 2026-05-27).
Geographically, the list is strongly Paris-centric: 17 of 23 rows list Paris, Ile-de-France (e.g., Olyzon 2026-05-27; MEDIADS 2026-05-19; Audion 2026-04-27), with only six entries outside Paris (Monteaux; Hem; Montpellier; Toulouse; Lyon; and one Lyon/Lyonnais entry). Stage and disclosure are also mixed: five rows show “Series Unknown” and two rows are “undisclosed,” spanning rounds from 2020-04-14 (Adrenalead) through the most recent 2026-05-27 (Olyzon).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round here, and is it an outlier versus other disclosed amounts?
Positive Group’s $110M disclosed round on 2022-11-08 is the only disclosed amount above $50M, and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed entries ($51M Artur'In on 2021-06-02; $43M Pitchy on 2023-09-21; $30M JVWEB on 2021-05-17). Most other disclosed rounds cluster in the single-digit to mid-teens range (e.g., Greenbids $2M on 2023-06-01; Olyzon $10M on 2026-05-27; Audion $15M on 2026-04-27).
Do disclosures and stage labels cluster, or are there many “unknown” entries affecting comparisons?
Comparability is limited by disclosure gaps: 5 of 23 rows use “Series Unknown” and 2 of 23 are “undisclosed” (e.g., Globe Groupe 2026-04-20 and AdCreative.ai 2023-10-24). That means only 16 rows provide a disclosed amount, so any “largest/smallest” comparison should be restricted to those disclosed figures.
Where are rounds concentrated by city, and are there meaningful non-Paris pockets?
Paris, Ile-de-France dominates with 17 of 23 rows (including Olyzon 2026-05-27, MEDIADS 2026-05-19, and Audion 2026-04-27). Non-Paris entries are fewer and spread across distinct cities (e.g., Montpellier JVWEB on 2021-05-17 at $30M, Toulouse getfluence on 2021-01-12 at $6M, Lyon Adrenalead on 2020-04-14 at $1M, and Hem Positive Group on 2022-11-08 at $110M).
How much do the rounds vary across time in the rows shown, and what are the temporal edges?
The displayed rounds span from 2020-04-14 (Adrenalead at $1M) to 2026-05-27 (Olyzon at $10M), covering roughly six years. Recent activity is concentrated in 2024–2026 as several Paris rounds appear in that window (e.g., Audion $15M on 2026-04-27 and Happydemics $14M on 2024-12-03).
Which entries in this list are clear stage outliers within a small group of high-value rounds?
Within the higher disclosed amounts, stage labels vary rather than clustering tightly: Pitchy is “Series B” at $43M (2023-09-21), Artur'In has a blank stage at $51M (2021-06-02), JVWEB has a blank stage at $30M (2021-05-17), and Positive Group is “Series Unknown” at $110M (2022-11-08). By contrast, smaller disclosed rounds include Seed and Series A examples such as Greenbids “Seed” at $2M (2023-06-01) and DataHawk Technologies “Series A” at $7M (2021-09-23).
