Recent Phoenix community and lifestyle funding (12 rows) shows a clear size skew: $10M rounds are present (4Front on 2023-10-16), but the only disclosed round that breaks far above the rest is Open Table’s $750K on 2024-10-15; nearly all other disclosed amounts cluster well below that level (for example, Holy Yoga at $100K on 2022-01-18, and Candelen at $20K on 2024-08-20). Date-wise, there’s a tight top-end cluster as three disclosed rounds tied to 2026-04-03 (Be A Leader Foundation $80K; Local First Arizona $230K; Valle del Sol $230K). A second cluster spans mid-2024 into early fall, including Candelen ($20K on 2024-08-20) and Open Table ($750K on 2024-10-15), while older entries extend back to 2022-01-18 (Holy Yoga). Stage information is frequently missing: 10 of 12 entries are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 12 are explicitly “undisclosed” on amount (Free Arts on 2024-11-14; Kids in Focus on 2023-12-21).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed Phoenix round here, and does it stand out from the rest?
Open Table’s $750K on 2024-10-15 is the lone disclosed amount far above the others; the next-highest disclosed figures are $230K on 2026-04-03 (Local First Arizona and Valle del Sol), with remaining disclosed amounts such as $100K (Holy Yoga, 2022-01-18) and $80K (Be A Leader Foundation, 2026-04-03) staying much lower.
Do the most recent dates cluster tightly, or are they evenly spread across the period shown?
They cluster at the very top of the list: three entries share the same round date of 2026-04-03, including Be A Leader Foundation ($80K), Local First Arizona ($230K), and Valle del Sol ($230K). Outside of that, another concentration occurs around 2024, with multiple rounds between 2024-08-20 (Candelen, $20K) and 2024-11-14 (Free Arts, undisclosed amount).
Are any stages over-represented compared to other stage labels in this slice?
“Series Unknown” dominates: 10 of 12 rows list “Series Unknown,” including Free Arts (2024-11-14, undisclosed amount) and Open Table (2024-10-15, $750K). The only explicitly labeled stages are Seed for Holy Yoga (2022-01-18, $100K) and Artie (2023-06-26, undisclosed amount), plus another Seed entry for Artie on 2023-06-26; all other rows remain “Series Unknown.”
How common are undisclosed amounts, and do they affect interpreting outliers?
Undisclosed amounts appear in 2 of 12 rows: Free Arts (2024-11-14) and Kids in Focus (2023-12-21). Because these lack amounts, comparisons of “largest” and “smallest” disclosed rounds rely on the remaining disclosed entries, where $20K (Candelen on 2024-08-20) is the smallest disclosed amount in the dataset shown.
Which entries look like potential outliers on disclosed size within the otherwise smaller funding range?
Beyond the $750K Open Table round (2024-10-15), the next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M (Televeda, 2023-02-16) and $10M (4Front, 2023-10-16). Several other disclosed rounds sit closer to the lower tens/hundreds of thousands, such as Atabey Outdoors ($50K on 2024-05-07) and Candelen ($20K on 2024-08-20), making the $3M and $10M figures the other notable size deviations.
