The largest disclosed round is Exa’s $250M on 2026-05-20, which dwarfs the next-highest disclosed amount ($50M by International Land Alliance on 2025-11-21) and places the top tier clearly above the rest of the disclosed set (with the next-largest figures landing at $35M and below). A noticeable concentration also appears in the recent time window: multiple disclosed rounds occur from April through July 2026, including Hilbert's AI ($28M, 2026-04-15), Parasail ($32M, 2026-04-15), and Quantum Light ($1M, 2026-07-09).
Stage labels and sectors skew heavily toward early to mid stages and AI/tech themes: there are four separate “Series Unknown” entries among the most recent cluster (e.g., Noise Floor Music at $40K on 2026-06-26, Topanga Ridge at $20K on 2026-06-26, The Portal at $5M on 2026-06-09, and OneOff at “undisclosed” on 2026-04-20), and AI appears repeatedly across disclosed rounds (Exa $250M on 2026-05-20; Parasail $32M on 2026-04-15; CWX $23M on 2025-10-03; Hammerhead AI $10M on 2025-11-18). Geographically, “California” is the only repeated city field across all 41 rows, while the date range spans 2021-04-13 to 2026-07-09.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier by size in this California list, and where does it sit relative to the rest?
Exa’s disclosed $250M (2026-05-20) is the largest, and it materially dwarfs the next-highest disclosed amount of $50M (International Land Alliance, 2025-11-21). The next-largest disclosed figures after that drop to $35M and below (e.g., Atomic AI at $35M on 2023-01-25).
How concentrated are funding closes toward the most recent months shown?
Several of the largest disclosed rounds cluster in the April–July 2026 window, including Parasail ($32M, 2026-04-15) and Hilbert's AI ($28M, 2026-04-15), then Quantum Light ($1M, 2026-07-09) and Wonderdog ($5M, 2026-07-08). The listing also spans back to 2021-04-13, indicating the page mixes recent activity with older funded entries.
Are “Series Unknown” rounds over-represented in the recent set?
Yes—multiple recent rows carry “Series Unknown,” including Noise Floor Music ($40K, 2026-06-26), Topanga Ridge ($20K, 2026-06-26), The Portal ($5M, 2026-06-09), and OneOff (2026-04-20, undisclosed). These appear alongside other disclosed “Seed” and “Series A” entries in the same late-2025 to mid-2026 period.
Does any sector appear frequently enough to matter for targeting, especially around AI?
AI shows up repeatedly across disclosed rounds: Exa ($250M, 2026-05-20), Parasail ($32M, 2026-04-15), CWX ($23M, 2025-10-03), and Hammerhead AI ($10M, 2025-11-18). That pattern suggests an AI-heavy mix rather than a single-transaction category.
What’s the smallest disclosed round, and does it signal a wide funding-size spread on the page?
The smallest disclosed amount is $20K for Topanga Ridge (2026-06-26). With the disclosed range running from $20K up to $250M (Exa, 2026-05-20), the page shows a broad spread rather than a narrow funding-size band.
Which entries have undisclosed amounts, and how much of the page is undisclosed overall?
Undisclosed amounts appear on 10 of the 41 rows, including OneOff (2026-04-20, undisclosed), Stealth (2026-02-04, undisclosed), and Ris Rx (2025-06-16, undisclosed). These undisclosed rows sit alongside many disclosed rounds with clear amount tiers, which can affect ranking-based analysis if only disclosed values are used.
