Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Vancouver community-and-lifestyle list, and how far above the rest is it?
The largest disclosed amount is Alchemist’s $7M round on 2023-08-10. Several other disclosed rounds sit well below that level, including Heritage Cannabis at $20M (2022-11-02) as another high point, plus multiple sub-$1M rounds such as LEEF Brands ($740K on 2025-07-24), Forte Group ($320K on 2025-07-14), and Xebra Brands ($600K on 2023-02-16).
How concentrated are rounds in time, based on the dates shown?
The time window runs from 2022-07-25 (PlantX) to 2025-07-24 (LEEF Brands). Within it, there’s a clear mid-2023 cluster: Vancouver Chinatown Foundation ($2M on 2023-05-12), Vancouver’s Alchemist ($7M on 2023-08-10), and Christina Lake Cannabis ($220K on 2023-11-03) fall within a roughly 6-month span from May to November 2023.
Which city placements dominate, and are there same-name city disambiguation issues?
Vancouver, British Columbia appears in 10 of the 12 rows, while one entry is explicitly Vancouver, Washington (Share on 2023-12-15, amount undisclosed). The remaining row(s) are also Vancouver, British Columbia, keeping the list geographically concentrated aside from that one cross-border Vancouver.
What does the stage/round-type mix look like here, including undisclosed amounts?
“Series Unknown” appears on 9 of 12 rows, including LEEF Brands ($740K on 2025-07-24) and Alchemist ($7M on 2023-08-10). Two rows carry specific types—PlantX as “Post-IPO Debt” at $8M on 2022-07-25 and Icanic as “Post-IPO Debt” at $1M on 2022-09-12—while 1 row is “undisclosed” (Share on 2023-12-15).
Are there outliers worth attention beyond the geography and stage mix?
Yes. Heritage Cannabis shows a notably large disclosed amount of $20M on 2022-11-02, which dwarfs most other disclosed figures like OVOU ($80K on 2022-10-03) and Christina Lake Cannabis ($220K on 2023-11-03). In contrast, the smallest disclosed amount among disclosed rows is OVOU’s $80K (2022-10-03), materially below the rest of the disclosed range.
