In Melbourne commerce and shopping deals shown here, the largest disclosed round is ROLLER’s $50M (2025-10-22). Everything else with a disclosed amount sits well below that level, with the next disclosed highs clustered at $30M (Linktree $30M on 2024-05-17; Grown Alchemist $30M on 2024-04-02), and several additional deals in the $10M–$23M range (e.g., Ultra Violette $10M on 2024-01-24; Little Birdie $23M on 2021-05-24).
The listing is also temporally concentrated: the oldest disclosed entry dates to 2021-05-24 (Little Birdie $23M) while the most recent is 2026-05-15 (Nuchev $3M), and multiple financings appear in mid-2024 (e.g., 2024-04-02, 2024-05-15, 2024-05-17). Stage and disclosure mix skew toward unclear sizing: 10 of 20 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 20 disclose “undisclosed” amounts (handdii on 2024-05-15; Warrp on 2022-05-01; Syncio on 2021-11-01), which means comparisons largely rely on the 15 disclosed dollar amounts shown.

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size, and how does the top disclosed round compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
ROLLER’s disclosed $50M (2025-10-22) is the only disclosed round above $30M; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $30M each (Grown Alchemist $30M on 2024-04-02 and Linktree $30M on 2024-05-17). The remaining disclosed rounds generally fall below that $30M tier, including $23M (Little Birdie, 2021-05-24) and $20M (Amber Electric, 2021-05-27).
Are there tight time clusters in the Melbourne commerce and shopping rounds shown?
Yes. Mid-2024 is especially dense: 2024-04-02 (Grown Alchemist, $30M), 2024-05-15 (handdii, undisclosed), 2024-05-17 (Linktree, $30M), and 2024-05-15 is immediately followed in the list by 2024-05-17. The list also spans a multi-year window from 2021-05-24 (Little Birdie, $23M) to 2026-05-15 (Nuchev, $3M).
Which disclosure/stage labels dominate, and does that affect how much size can be compared?
“Series Unknown” appears in 10 of 20 rows (for example, Nuchev $3M on 2026-05-15; Bobby $390K on 2026-04-09; Directo $1M on 2024-09-10). In addition, three entries show “undisclosed” amounts (handdii on 2024-05-15; Warrp on 2022-05-01; Syncio on 2021-11-01), limiting comparisons for those specific companies.
Which stage mix appears most often among the disclosed rounds?
Among non-“Series Unknown” classifications, Pre-Seed is present multiple times (Spoony on 2025-01-28 with $1M; Linktree on 2024-05-17 with $30M; Elliephant on 2023-11-23 with $370K). There are also distinct singletons across later stages (e.g., frank body’s Series B $11M on 2022-08-11; Willed’s Series A $4M on 2022-06-14; Preezie’s Series A $4M on 2021-11-23).
Are there outliers besides the largest disclosed amount (including very small disclosed rounds)?
Yes. On the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is Bobby’s $390K (2026-04-09), which sits far below the next smallest disclosed entries such as Get Duck’s $100K (2022-03-21, though it is not the absolute minimum because $390K is the smallest among the disclosed amounts in this list). The size dispersion is reinforced by large outliers in the $30M–$50M band (Linktree $30M on 2024-05-17; Grown Alchemist $30M on 2024-04-02; ROLLER $50M on 2025-10-22).
