New York's community and lifestyle sector spans a wide funding spectrum across these 50 most recent rounds, from TULU's $17M Series A in November 2025 back to MilkMate's $5M Seed in April 2023. Health-oriented ventures form a recurring thread: Diana Health closed a $55M Series C in September 2025, Seven Starling raised $8M at Series A the same month, and Pario Health, Elektra Health, and Health In Her HUE each raised Seed rounds between $3M and $4M since early 2024. Late-stage financial wellness plays—Chapter at $75M Series D (April 2025) and Vestwell at $125M Series D (December 2023)—anchor the upper end of labeled venture activity.
Round sizing varies sharply. Aquarian Holdings' $750M and Just Salad's $200M dwarf most of the set, while pre-seed entries like Treasure ($130K) and cheersy ($500K) sit at the other extreme. Roughly half the rounds carry "Series Unknown" classifications, and six companies report undisclosed amounts, which reflects the mix of venture-backed startups, consumer brands, and nonprofit-adjacent organizations all captured under this segment.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds among these 50 New York community and lifestyle companies?
Aquarian Holdings leads at $750M (Series Unknown, October 2024), followed by Just Salad at $200M (Series Unknown, February 2025), Vestwell at $125M (Series D, December 2023), and Chapter at $75M (Series D, April 2025). Diana Health's $55M Series C in September 2025 is the largest among clearly venture-staged rounds closed in 2025.
Which health-oriented companies in this segment have raised since 2024?
Diana Health ($55M Series C, Sep 2025), Seven Starling ($8M Series A, Sep 2025), Retirable ($10M Series A, Jul 2025), Pario Health ($4M Seed, Oct 2024), Yuvo Health ($8M, Dec 2024), Elektra Health ($3M Seed, Feb 2024), and Health In Her HUE ($3M Seed, Jan 2024) all closed rounds in this window. The cluster signals sustained investor interest in women's health, elder care navigation, and community health access within New York.
How does round-stage distribution break down across these companies?
Series Unknown is the most common classification, covering roughly half the entries—many of which carry disclosed dollar amounts (e.g., Aquarian Holdings $750M, Just Salad $200M, Athena Club $34M). Among labeled venture rounds, Series A appears most frequently, with seven companies: TULU, Seven Starling, Basic Capital, Retirable, Alinea, Alloy, and Mixlab. Two Series D rounds (Chapter, Vestwell), one Series C (Diana Health), and two Series B rounds (NetBox Labs, Capitalize) represent the late-stage activity.
What does the early-stage pipeline look like for this segment?
Three pre-seed rounds appear: Treasure ($130K, Aug 2025), cheersy ($500K, Feb 2025), and The Arena ($2M, Oct 2024). Seed-stage activity includes Assemble ($6M, Jul 2025), Lex ($6M, Oct 2023), MilkMate ($5M, Apr 2023), Pario Health ($4M, Oct 2024), Elektra Health ($3M, Feb 2024), Health In Her HUE ($3M, Jan 2024), First Round's on Me ($3M, Aug 2024), Grapevine ($2M, Aug 2023), and The Post ($1M, Jul 2023).
What is the date range covered by these 50 funding events?
The oldest round in this set is MilkMate's $5M Seed from April 12, 2023. The most recent is TULU's $17M Series A, closed November 20, 2025. Sixteen of the 50 events fall in 2025 alone, with activity spread across health, financial wellness, food, and community platform sub-sectors.
How many rounds have undisclosed amounts, and does that skew the picture?
Six companies—Luke's Lobster, Minds Matter, Armando Cabral, Wagmo, Girls Write Now, and Room To Grow—show undisclosed amounts, representing 12% of the 50 rows. An additional handful carry very small disclosed amounts (e.g., Young People's Chorus at $30K, Covenant House at $10K), which likely reflect nonprofit grant activity rather than venture investment, so the average disclosed round size is pulled significantly by the Aquarian Holdings and Just Salad outliers.
