The 21 Commerce and Shopping startups listed here span rounds from December 2020 through May 2025, with Helsinki-based companies accounting for the clear majority of entries. The largest disclosed rounds belong to SATO ($162M, March 2025) and Swappie ($123M Series C, February 2022), both in Southern Finland. Bob W closed a $43M Series B in February 2024, and Videoly raised a $7M Series A in February 2022 — two of the few unambiguously later-stage deals in the set.
Seed rounds are the most frequently occurring stage, appearing across Droppe, Blidz, Rentle, OGOship, BoxBox, and others. Early 2025 showed a cluster of activity, with Takomo Golf Company ($23M, Turku), SATO ($162M, Helsinki), and eBrands ($8M, Helsinki) all closing rounds between March and May. Outside Helsinki, funded companies reach Turku, Espoo, Vantaa, Mikkeli, Kangasala, and Järvenpää, indicating that deal flow, while Helsinki-centric, is not exclusively confined to the capital region.

Which funding stage appears most often in this dataset?
