The disclosed funding amounts in this France “Community and Lifestyle” set cluster mostly in the low single-digit millions, with one clear outlier: Dalma.
The disclosed funding amounts in this France “Community and Lifestyle” set cluster mostly in the low single-digit millions, with one clear outlier: Dalma. raised $22M (2025-03-17), which sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table (FAIRMAT at $12M on 2025-11-04 and Drouot at $77M on 2023-07-07). In fact, Drouot’s $77M (2023-07-07) dwarfs every other disclosed round in these rows, while the smallest disclosed amount is TeleVet’s $160K (2024-10-17).
On timing and geography, the 20 most recent rounds span 2022-01-02 (Take a Desk) through 2025-11-04 (FAIRMAT) and show a Paris concentration: the majority of entries list Paris, Ile-De-France, with a secondary presence in cities such as Nantes (Ecov - on 2023-05-10; Take a Desk on 2022-01-02) and Lyon (Auxo on 2024-10-16). Stage naming is also uneven: 6 of 20 rounds are “Series Unknown” and 1 of 20 is “undisclosed,” leaving the remaining rounds split across Seed/Pre-Seed/Series A/Series B.

Frequently asked
What does the largest disclosed round look like in this France community-and-lifestyle set, and how far above the rest is it?
Drouot’s $77M (2023-07-07) is the only disclosed round in this list that reaches that scale; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $37M (Hivebrite on 2023-10-18) and $22M (Dalma. on 2025-03-17). Compared with the low-to-mid single-digit cluster (e.g., Wingly $4M on 2024-05-13; Neosilver $4M on 2024-09-12), the $77M position stands apart.
Are the most recent rounds clustered by date, or are they spread across the whole window?
They’re spread rather than concentrated: the table includes 2025 rounds from FAIRMAT (2025-11-04, $12M) and A.M.A Selections (2025-08-28, $690K) through Dalma. (2025-03-17, $22M) and then continues through 2024 and back to 2022. Within 90 days of the newest entry (after 2025-08-03), only A.M.A Selections (2025-08-28, $690K), Skarlett (2025-06-19, $9M), Zenior (2025-06-02, $2M), and Dalma. (2025-03-17, $22M) appear, indicating limited recency clustering.
Which cities show up repeatedly, and does the list indicate a Paris hub effect?
Paris dominates the entries: FAIRMAT, Skarlett, Zenior, Dalma., May, Neosilver, Wingly, Hivebrite, Paaw, Zealy, Drouot, and Mobility Work all list Paris, Ile-De-France. Outside Paris, there are smaller clusters like Nantes (Ecov - on 2023-05-10 at $13M; Take a Desk on 2022-01-02 at $2M) and a single Lyon entry (Auxo on 2024-10-16 at $3M).
How does the stage label mix behave, especially for entries labeled “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed”?
Stage naming is incomplete for a meaningful share: 6 of 20 rows are “Series Unknown” (e.g., A.M.A Selections $690K on 2025-08-28; May $8M on 2024-09-17; Drouot $77M on 2023-07-07) and 1 of 20 is “undisclosed” (Paaw on 2023-09-18). That leaves the rest split across Seed/Pre-Seed/Series A/Series B, with Seed/Pre-Seed examples like Skarlett $9M (2025-06-19) and TeleVet $160K (2024-10-17).
Is there an amount outlier on the low end, and does it align with the same stage/city patterns as larger rounds?
TeleVet’s $160K (2024-10-17, Pre-Seed) is the smallest disclosed amount in the table and is far below other low-to-mid rounds such as Fanprime’s $540K (2022-10-14) and A.M.A Selections’ $690K (2025-08-28). That smallest round is based in Paris, Ile-De-France, so the extreme low end appears within the same geography that also hosts much larger deals like Drouot’s $77M (2023-07-07, Paris).
