The 12 Houston-based commerce and shopping startups shown here closed rounds between May 2022 and September 2025. Seed is the dominant stage: six of the 12 companies raised seed rounds, including Curated For You ($8M, September 2025), Church Space ($1M, May 2025), and Wagonway ($500K, April 2024). The standout disclosed deal is RepeatMD's $40M Series A in November 2023 — the only growth-stage round in the dataset and the largest by a wide margin.
Four companies — ONIBEX, RFPrime.com, Xplosion Technology, and Popable — reported rounds with undisclosed amounts, which limits direct dollar comparisons across the full set. Seven of the 12 deals closed during 2022–2023, suggesting a concentration of activity in that window, followed by a slower 2024 and a modest resumption of closes in 2025. All 12 companies list Houston, Texas as their headquarters.
