Boston commerce and shopping rounds in this slice span from Drizly’s $50M (2020-08-20) to Stone & Skillet’s $5M (2026-05-19), with most recent activity clustered in 2026. A clear size outlier appears in this set: Perch closed a $775M round (2021-05-26), dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Salsify’s $200M (2022-04-13) and ezCater’s $100M (2021-12-15). Stage disclosure is also uneven: “Series Unknown” appears on multiple entries (e.g., Breezeway on 2026-03-03 as undisclosed; NOBULL on 2026-01-20 at $50M; Paerpay on 2024-06-13 at $700K), while several entries are explicitly Seed, Series A, or later-stage financings.
On the timeline, the 2021–2022 window is unusually dense with several large-ticket rounds, including Teikametrics $40M (2021-07-15) and Salsify $200M (2022-04-13), while 2023–2024 shows more mid-sized disclosed rounds such as Lynx $27M (2025-02-06) and Machinery Partner $8M (2023-12-05). All listed companies are based in Boston, Massachusetts, with the dataset showing 35 rows total.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the standout by size, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Perch’s $775M (2021-05-26) is the only disclosed figure above the rest by a wide margin, far above Salsify’s $200M (2022-04-13) and ezCater’s $100M (2021-12-15). The remaining disclosed rounds largely sit below those top figures, including True Fit’s $15M (2021-12-08) and Lynx’s $27M (2025-02-06).
Are there temporal clusters where multiple rounds show up around the same period?
Yes. A heavy concentration occurs in 2021–2022, including Teikametrics $40M (2021-07-15), Perch $775M (2021-05-26), and Salsify $200M (2022-04-13). The most recent entries are clustered into 2026, including Stone & Skillet on 2026-05-19 and Breezeway on 2026-03-03.
Do any disclosure labels (Series Unknown or undisclosed) dominate the stage mix?
“Series Unknown” shows up repeatedly (e.g., NOBULL $50M on 2026-01-20; Paerpay $700K on 2024-06-13; Hue Beauty on 2024-04-16 at $5M), and undisclosed amounts appear alongside at least Breezeway (2026-03-03) and Next Day Access (2023-07-14). By contrast, explicitly labeled stages like Seed and Series A recur but not as consistently as the Unknown label.
Which stage appears most often among explicitly labeled rounds in this Boston commerce/shopping slice?
Series A appears frequently among the explicitly labeled entries, including Stone & Skillet as Series A (2026-05-19, $5M), Drivepoint (2025-08-08, $9M), Lynx (2025-02-06, $27M), and Machinery Partner (2023-12-05, $8M). Seed is also present multiple times, such as Scroobious (2024-09-03, $500K), Wiresurfer (2023-07-11, $100K), and Zyp Run (2023-01-24, $3M).
What other notable outliers exist besides the $775M round?
Salsify’s $200M (2022-04-13) is the clearest high-end secondary figure, followed by ezCater’s $100M (2021-12-15) and True Fit’s $15M (2021-12-08). On the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is $100K for Wiresurfer (2023-07-11), which sits far below the cluster of multi-million-dollar disclosed rounds like Returnalyze $5M (2022-11-03) and Bamboo Rose at $5M (2022-06-21 is undisclosed, so it doesn’t count for the disclosed minimum).
