Among the disclosed advertising rounds shown for Los Angeles (17 entries), MediaAlpha’s $125M (2024-05-07) is the largest disclosed amount and sits far above the rest; the next-highest disclosed figures cluster at $275M for VideoAmp (2021-10-21) and $250K/ $3M / $6M in the lower ranges, but there are only a few multi–$10M outcomes. Stage and timing also cluster: several rounds land in a tight 2021 window (IRIS.TV $18M and AppOnboard $20M on 2021-04-07 and 2021-01-28; VideoAmp $275M on 2021-10-21), while the list spans from 2020-11-17 (RetargetApp, $1M) to 2026-03-03 (Eva Live, undisclosed).
A key data constraint is that amounts are missing for two entries (Eva Live on 2026-03-03 is undisclosed; multiple others are labeled “Series Unknown” rather than undisclosed): five rounds explicitly carry “Series Unknown.” Even with that mix, the disclosed-size distribution is skewed by large outliers (VideoAmp $275M on 2021-10-21; MediaAlpha $125M on 2024-05-07) alongside smaller disclosed rounds like AdGlance $50K (2021-11-01) and OTTera $250K (2024-01-22).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round in this Los Angeles advertising list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
VideoAmp’s $275M (Series F, 2021-10-21) is the largest disclosed amount in the 17-row view, with the next-largest disclosed figure being MediaAlpha’s $125M (2024-05-07). The remaining disclosed rounds are concentrated well below those levels, with several in the $1M–$12M range (e.g., RetargetApp $1M on 2020-11-17; Ryff $12M on 2021-08-03).
Do any rounds cluster in time, suggesting a concentrated fundraising period for Los Angeles advertising companies?
Yes. A noticeable share of the disclosed rounds falls in 2021: AppOnboard closed $20M on 2021-01-28, IRIS.TV closed $18M on 2021-04-07, and VideoAmp closed $275M on 2021-10-21. Outside 2021, there’s also a smaller 2024 cluster with Mundial Media $2M (2024-11-14), MediaAlpha $125M (2024-05-07), and OTTera $250K (2024-01-22).
Are there outliers in disclosed amount, either unusually large or unusually small?
Both. On the large side, VideoAmp’s $275M (2021-10-21) dwarfs most other disclosed rounds, while MediaAlpha’s $125M (2024-05-07) is also far above the typical $1M–$12M range. On the low side, AdGlance’s $50K (2021-11-01) and OTTera’s $250K (2024-01-22) sit near the floor of the disclosed amounts.
How much of the list has missing or unclear stage/amount information that could affect comparisons?
Two entries have missing amounts: Eva Live (2026-03-03) is marked “undisclosed,” and RetargetApp (2020-11-17) shows a disclosed $1M but a blank series field. Separately, five rows explicitly use “Series Unknown” for stage (e.g., Eva Live is Series Unknown; Mundial Media is Pre-Seed, while MediaAlpha and OTTera and Versus Systems are labeled Series Unknown), so stage-to-stage comparisons are partially constrained.
Which stage labels appear more than once, and what does that imply about the funding mix in this view?
“Seed” appears multiple times: Glewee $9M (2022-04-18), Adway $6M (2021-07-21), and Brybe $1M (2021-04-07) are all labeled Seed. “Series Unknown” is also repeated across several entries (e.g., MediaAlpha $125M on 2024-05-07; Versus Systems $3M on 2023-10-13; CFN Enterprises $800K on 2023-01-23), indicating a meaningful portion of rounds can’t be cleanly slotted into a standard stage ladder using the labels provided.
