The 13 commerce and shopping companies shown here are concentrated in Wilmington, Delaware, with two outliers: KWIPPED (Wilmington, North Carolina, $4M, June 2023) and Locus Robotics (Wilmington, Massachusetts, $50M Series E, September 2021). Locus Robotics anchors the high end of disclosed funding, followed by Assiduus Global's $15M Series A in October 2022 and Rarible's $14M round in June 2021. The ISH Food Company's $5M seed in February 2023 is the largest disclosed early-stage raise in the group. Activity clusters between late 2021 and the first half of 2023, spanning seed rounds, two Series A closes, and several rounds with unknown stage designations.
More recent entries — Onlihub ($500K seed, December 2024), Gamers Home (pre-seed, October 2024), and Savimbo (Series Unknown, May 2025) — show continued early-stage deal flow in the Wilmington, Delaware corridor, though disclosed amounts in 2024–2025 are smaller or entirely undisclosed relative to the 2021–2022 period.

The ISH Food Company's $5M seed in February 2023 is the largest disclosed early-stage round in the group.
Where are most of these funded companies actually based?
Eleven of the 13 companies are based in Wilmington, Delaware. The two exceptions are KWIPPED, which raised a $4M round in June 2023 out of Wilmington, North Carolina, and Locus Robotics out of Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Which funding stages appear most often in this dataset?
Seed is the most frequent stage, with five rounds — Onlihub, SweetSpot, The ISH Food Company, Carbonfact, and Kitchenhub. Series Unknown accounts for three companies (Savimbo, KWIPPED, Olyra), while Series A covers two (UNIT 1 and Assiduus Global).
How recent is the funding activity shown here?

Are there food or consumer goods companies in this group worth targeting?
Three companies fit that profile: The ISH Food Company raised a $5M seed in February 2023, Olyra closed an undisclosed Series Unknown round in March 2023, and Kitchenhub raised $500K at the seed stage in October 2021 — all based in Wilmington, Delaware.
How many rounds have undisclosed amounts, and does that skew the picture?
Five of the 13 rounds list no disclosed amount — Savimbo, Gamers Home, SweetSpot, Olyra, and Rarible's round type is also blank. Among the eight with disclosed figures, amounts range from $500K to $50M, so the undisclosed entries could represent either very small or substantial raises.
