Among the 37 Austin-based commerce and shopping startups shown, the largest disclosed round is DealHub.io at $100M (2026-01-20), which is far above most other disclosed rounds in this slice. The next-largest disclosed amounts cluster at $82M (SamCart, 2022-04-07) and $55M (Newchip, 2022-04-26), while several other rounds sit in the $20M–$35M range (e.g., Lucky Energy $25M in 2025-11-12; Stratus Properties $30M in 2025-01-27).
Temporal clustering is noticeable near the top of the list: four of the most recent five entries are dated in 2026 (2026-06-01, 2026-06-01, 2026-04-14, 2026-02-02, 2026-01-20). Stage labels are also heavily mixed: 18 of 37 rows carry “Series Unknown,” and 2 rows are “undisclosed” (Episode Six, 2025-03-05; Porcelain, 2023-04-27). Dates span from 2021-04-09 (Disco, Seed) through 2026-06-01 (Recess; Throne.com).

Frequently asked
What stands out most in round size for Austin commerce and shopping, and is there a clear “top” deal?
DealHub.io’s $100M round on 2026-01-20 is the clear high end of the disclosed amounts; it is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds shown, such as SamCart’s $82M (2022-04-07) and Newchip’s $100M is actually matched by DealHub.io? (No: Newchip is $100M on 2022-04-26, matching the top; the only other disclosed $100M in this list is Newchip, so DealHub.io shares the disclosed maximum.)
Is there a tight date cluster among the newest rounds shown?
Yes. The five most recent rows include two rounds on 2026-06-01 (Recess $4M; Throne.com $16M), plus 2026-04-14 (Wyse Earth $30K), 2026-02-02 (Nok Recommerce $8M), and 2026-01-20 (DealHub.io $100M), indicating a concentration at the start of 2026.
How much of the list is “Series Unknown” or fully undisclosed, and does that obscure comparisons?
18 of 37 rows list “Series Unknown,” and 2 additional rows show “undisclosed” amounts (Episode Six on 2025-03-05; Porcelain on 2023-04-27). That means stage-and-size comparability is limited for a sizable share of entries, especially for Episode Six and Porcelain.
Which stage labels appear repeatedly, and how does that affect interpretation of deal momentum?
Beyond “Series Unknown” (18/37), the next most visible label is “Seed” with multiple entries such as Recess (2026-06-01, $4M), Neutrl (2025-04-16, $5M), Chaiz (2024-08-01, $4M), and Disco (2021-04-09, $5M). With many large deals also labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., DealHub.io $100M in 2026-01-20; Cart.com $117M in 2022-03-03), stage signals alone don’t map cleanly to deal size.
Are there outliers on the low end worth isolating when reviewing disclosed-round ranges?
Wyse Earth’s $30K (2026-04-14) is the smallest disclosed amount in the table, which sits far below the next-lowest disclosed figures like For the Cubs at $250K (2024-12-16) and Redbud Brands at $150K (2023-03-09). The presence of “undisclosed” rows (Episode Six; Porcelain) further widens the range of what’s known about early financings.
