U.S. companies concentrate in Los Angeles (Bezel, Offe Market, Diddo, LOCKER), San Francisco (Hemster, treet, GOZEN), and New York (The Folklore Group, Legitimate, IYK).
Disclosed round sizes range from $70K (Zerow, Italy) to $17M (IYK, Manhattan), with six rounds undisclosed. Twenty-six of the 44 disclosed rounds fall between $1M and $4M. Seven companies cleared $5M — including treet at $8M, Showroom B2B at $7M, and both Modern Synthesis and Faro at $6M.
