Disclosed pre-seed checks in this clothing and apparel slice cluster tightly around the $500K–$2M range, but one disclosed outlier stands apart: Sknups raised $4M (2022-06-16), which is higher than every other disclosed amount shown (the next-largest disclosed figures are $2M for multiple companies, including Confluxe on 2026-03-11 and others). The page also shows a pronounced recency concentration: 2025–2026 accounts for 14 of the 50 rows shown, and several of those are in the $500K–$720K band (e.g., Nardo $720K on 2026-06-01; Retrofit $500K on 2025-03-12; Krvvy $710K on 2025-01-20).
Geographically, the list is internationally distributed, but the UK appears repeatedly in London and nearby cities (e.g., Brarista in London with $660K on 2025-03-10; Cress in Manchester at $300K on 2025-02-21; Birl in Manchester at $650K on 2024-10-28; Eslando in London at $150K on 2024-05-15; Jendaya in London at $1M on 2023-02-10), alongside recurring US tech hubs (notably San Francisco entries like Retrofit $500K on 2025-03-12 and somi “undisclosed” on 2025-01-25). Undisclosed amounts form a sizable fraction of the recent set: 10 of the 50 rows are “undisclosed,” while disclosed amounts span from $20K (Kilauea Woods® on 2021-11-22 and ReThought on 2023-06-24) up to $4M. The rounds span 2021-04-02 (swatchbook) through 2026-06-15 (Mosaiq), with Mosaiq the most recent by date at $150K.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed pre-seed round on this page, and how does it compare with the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Sknups’ $4M pre-seed (2022-06-16) is the clear high-water mark; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $2M (e.g., Confluxe on 2026-03-11 at $2M, plus Bought on 2025-03-26 at $2M and Veeton on 2024-06-07 at $2M), while no other disclosed entry exceeds $2M.
Are there any strong time clusters among the most recent entries shown (50 rows)?
Yes. There are 14 rows in 2025–2026, including multiple $500K–$720K disclosed rounds such as Nardo $720K (2026-06-01), Retrofit $500K (2025-03-12), and Tiings $540K (2024-07-01). By comparison, the early edge extends back to 2021-04-02 with swatchbook ($100K), creating a long tail back through 2021–2022.
Which companies represent the smallest disclosed amounts, and what does that imply about the spread of disclosed funding?
The smallest disclosed rounds are $20K, appearing at ReThought (2023-06-24) and Kilauea Woods® (2021-11-22). With disclosed amounts also reaching $4M (Sknups, 2022-06-16), the disclosed range spans from $20K to $4M, even as many disclosed rounds concentrate higher.
Do UK cities (especially London) show up more often than other single geographies in this list?
London and nearby UK cities are repeatedly represented among disclosed and undisclosed entries: Brarista in London raised $660K on 2025-03-10, Eslando in London raised $150K on 2024-05-15, and Jendaya in London raised $1M on 2023-02-10; Manchester appears via Cress ($300K on 2025-02-21) and Birl ($650K on 2024-10-28). That pattern is in addition to other international hubs like San Francisco (e.g., Retrofit $500K on 2025-03-12; somi “undisclosed” on 2025-01-25).
What stage/tender disclosure pattern stands out: how common are “undisclosed” amounts here?
Undisclosed amounts appear in 10 of the 50 rows, spread across multiple dates (e.g., Glamm on 2026-04-10, CLR Wear on 2025-05-12, and somi on 2025-01-25). This means any “largest” or “smallest” comparisons are only meaningful among disclosed amounts, not the full set of 50.
