Disclosed round sizes in this UK “Community and Lifestyle” slice show a wide spread: the largest disclosed amount is Improbable at $100M (2022-10-05), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds in the $58M–$70M range (LiveScore Group $58M on 2022-09-07; Tiney $9M is far lower). At the other end, the smallest disclosed amount is SonX at $20K (2023-04-11), indicating many sub-$1M deals alongside several very large rounds.
The list is also clustered by geography and time. London dominates, appearing across entries spanning the most recent round on 2025-10-28 (Marleybones $3M) back to the oldest on 2022-06-28 (Birdie $30M), with non-London locations like Shrewsbury (Different Dog $13M on 2025-04-07) and Cardiff (Tourhub $1M on 2023-10-16) acting as smaller pockets. Stage labeling is mixed: “Series Unknown” is the most frequent classification (including examples like Third Space Learning on 2025-08-27 and Yoto on 2024-10-14), while “undisclosed” amounts also recur (e.g., Third Space Learning and Elder in 2024, each without a dollar figure).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Improbable’s $100M round on 2022-10-05 is the clear outlier; it sits well above the next-largest disclosed figures, such as LiveScore Group’s $58M (2022-09-07) and Everyman Media Group’s $45M (2023-08-17). In contrast, the smallest disclosed amount is SonX at $20K on 2023-04-11.
How concentrated are rounds in London versus other UK cities?
London is heavily represented across the period, including Marleybones ($3M, 2025-10-28), Manual ($39M, 2024-09-17), and Birdie ($30M, 2022-06-28). Outside London, there are smaller city pockets such as Shrewsbury (Different Dog $13M on 2025-04-07) and Cardiff (Tourhub $1M on 2023-10-16), but the list repeatedly returns to London addresses like Mayfair/Westminster for LiveScore Group ($58M, 2022-09-07).
Which companies fall within the most recent 90-day window of this dataset?
From 2025-02-27 onward (counting back from the most recent date 2025-10-28), disclosed entries include Marleybones ($3M, 2025-10-28), City Harvest London ($410K, 2025-06-10), Some Grub ($360K, 2025-05-19), Community Wolf ($450K, 2025-05-14), and Limitless Travel ($8M, 2025-04-01). Several rounds in this window are amount-undisclosed, including Third Space Learning on 2025-08-27.
What stage mix shows up most often, and how many records are amount-undisclosed versus explicitly dollar figures?
“Series Unknown” appears most frequently as a classification (for example, Third Space Learning on 2025-08-27 and Yoto on 2024-10-14). Separately, “undisclosed” amounts recur as well, including Third Space Learning (2025-08-27) and Elder (2024-04-23), indicating that some entries provide a round type without a disclosed dollar amount.
Are there notable size outliers beyond the single largest round?
Yes. Besides Improbable’s $100M (2022-10-05), other large disclosed rounds stand apart from typical mid-market sizes, including Maji’s $190M on 2024-01-17 and Manual’s $39M on 2024-09-17. Meanwhile, very small disclosed rounds such as SonX’s $20K (2023-04-11) are far lower than the cluster of deals often landing in the hundreds of thousands to single-digit millions (e.g., City Harvest London $410K on 2025-06-10 and Community Wolf $450K on 2025-05-14).
