Disclosed deal sizes show a strong concentration with one clear outlier: Samsara’s $700M round dated 2020-05-20 dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts, where the next-largest figures are $400M (Hinge Health, 2021-10-28) and $125M (Density, 2021-11-10) and $120M (Etched.ai, 2024-06-25). Stages and amount labels are also skewed toward ambiguity: 6 of 49 entries use “Series Unknown” (including Opaque 2025-03-13 undisclosed; Gladly 2024-09-26 $40M; Tempo Automation 2022-11-23 $79M; and others), and 1 additional entry is “undisclosed” with a missing amount (Opaque 2025-03-13).
Temporally, the rounds span 2020-05-20 through 2025-11-16, with the most recent entry being Foxglove’s Series B on 2025-11-16 ($40M). Most companies cluster in the same geography (all rows list San Francisco, California, United States), while the size dispersion is widest when comparing Samsara’s $700M against small disclosed rounds like Loki.code’s $130K on 2023-04-12.

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size—does any disclosed amount dominate the San Francisco consumer electronics list?
Yes. Samsara’s disclosed $700M round (2020-05-20) is the largest disclosed amount in the dataset and is materially above the next tier (Hinge Health’s $400M on 2021-10-28 and Density/Etched.ai at $125M and $120M in 2021-11-10 and 2024-06-25).
How often are round amounts or classifications missing, and what does that imply for stage analysis?
There are 7 entries with incomplete or non-standard stage/amount reporting: Opaque shows “Series Unknown” with an “undisclosed” amount on 2025-03-13, and 6 additional entries are labeled “Series Unknown” with disclosed amounts (e.g., Gladly $40M on 2024-09-26; Tempo Automation $79M on 2022-11-23). That reduces how confidently stage-mix patterns can be read off labels alone.
Are rounds concentrated in a specific recent window based on the dates shown?
The most recent 90 days from the last row date (2025-11-16) would include at least Foxglove (2025-11-16 $40M), Civ Robotics (2025-07-01 $8M), and Linear/Ditto (2025-06-10 $82M; 2025-03-12 $82M), but the list also stretches back to 2020-05-20 with Samsara ($700M), indicating a long distribution rather than a single tight burst.
Does the list over-represent a particular geography within San Francisco consumer electronics?
All 49 rows list the same city-region string: San Francisco, California, United States. That means the dataset is geographically homogeneous, and any differentiation comes from stage/round size timing rather than location.
What stage labels appear most frequently, and are they consistent with the largest rounds?
Stage labels vary, but the largest disclosed amounts tie to specific labeled rounds rather than “Series Unknown”: Samsara is unlabeled in the row (blank stage) at $700M (2020-05-20), while the next-largest disclosed rounds use explicit labels like Hinge Health’s Series E ($400M, 2021-10-28) and Density’s Series D ($125M, 2021-11-10). “Series Unknown” entries like Gladly ($40M, 2024-09-26) and Tempo Automation ($79M, 2022-11-23) exist, but they do not hold the top disclosed amounts.
Which rounds look like low-end outliers compared with the largest disclosed deals?
The smallest disclosed amount is Loki.code’s $130K on 2023-04-12, which is an extreme low outlier relative to Samsara’s $700M (2020-05-20). Between them, the disclosed amounts span a wide range including sub-$1M rounds like Electric Air’s $500K (2023-04-05) and several single-digit million rounds such as PingSafe’s $3M (2023-07-18).
