Berlin dominates this list, with more than half of the 23 companies headquartered there — including Urban Sports Club, Raus, Ecosia, Vyld, crowd.dev, Kidling, bookingkit, and Informed. Urban Sports Club's $103M round in December 2023 is by far the largest disclosed raise in the dataset. Outside Berlin, Munich (Edurino, Mentessa), Frankfurt (Meet5, WeProfit), and Nürnberg (Fabri Group, $16M in November 2024) represent the next most active locations.
Round activity runs from August 2020 through September 2025. Meet5 illustrates a multi-stage progression visible in the data — a $1M Seed in April 2022 followed by a $9M Series A in September 2025, the most recent round in the set. Nine of the 23 entries carry undisclosed amounts, concentrated among "Series Unknown" labels and rounds with no stage classification, which limits direct size comparison across the full dataset.
