Across the 25 most recent Los Angeles consumer goods rounds shown, Mangomint’s disclosed $35M (2024-09-06) is the largest disclosed amount, sitting far above other disclosed figures such as Lexington Bakes’ $1M (2025-07-15) and the single-digit to low-teen range around talks like Mother Science’s $4M (2024-05-03) or Mad Rabbit’s $10M (2023-03-21). The disclosed amounts are also right-censored by “undisclosed” rounds: 7 of 25 entries list “undisclosed” while another 6 of 25 use “Series Unknown,” so comparisons rely on a thinner set of disclosed totals. Timing concentrates in bursts: 7 of the 25 rounds fall between 2023-10-04 and 2023-07-14 (Cove $7M on 2023-10-04; talkshoplive $7M on 2023-10-16; BREAD BEAUTY SUPPLY is undisclosed on 2023-07-14), with a smaller tail into mid-2025 (SULA Labs $100K on 2025-11-18; Lexington Bakes $1M on 2025-07-15). Stage-wise, Seed and venture-labeled “Venture - Series Unknown” appear repeatedly alongside A and B (e.g., Dstlry Seed $5M on 2024-08-01; Rael Series B $35M on 2022-05-25), while all entries are consistently based in Los Angeles, California. The date window spans 2021-08-25 (Misha’s Kind Foods Seed $3M) through 2025-11-18 (SULA Labs $100K), with the most recent round in the list dated 2025-11-18.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Los Angeles consumer goods set, and is it a meaningful outlier versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Mangomint’s $35M (2024-09-06) is the largest disclosed amount in the rows, and it dwarfs other disclosed peaks such as Rael’s $35M (2022-05-25) and Irwin Naturals’ $40M (2023-02-01) does not apply because Irwin Naturals is $40M—there is no single-largest above $35M except Irwin Naturals; Irwin Naturals actually sets the ceiling at $40M (2023-02-01), making Mangomint a second-largest disclosed datapoint rather than the top outlier.
How much of the dataset is comparable on disclosed dollar amounts versus masked as 'undisclosed' or 'Series Unknown'?
Dollar amounts are explicitly “undisclosed” for 7 of 25 entries (including Gente Beauty on 2025-04-04 and California Naturals on 2024-10-01), and stages are labeled “Series Unknown” for 6 of 25 entries (including SULA Labs on 2025-11-18 and Tonal Cosmetics on 2024-12-12). That leaves fewer entries with both a numeric amount and a specific stage label for clean stage-versus-size comparisons.
Are rounds clustering in a particular time window rather than spreading evenly across 2021–2025?
Yes: a dense cluster appears in late 2023, where multiple funding events land within weeks of each other—talkshoplive $7M (2023-10-16) and Cove $7M (2023-10-04), plus Egg Beauty Labs (undisclosed) on 2023-10-19—before another wave in mid-2023 such as Mad Rabbit $10M (2023-03-21) and MINU (undisclosed) on 2023-06-20.
Which stage labels are most represented, and do they align with higher or lower disclosed amounts?
Seed is repeatedly present with disclosed amounts in the dataset (e.g., Dstlry Seed $5M on 2024-08-01; Mother Science Seed $4M on 2024-05-03; Lexington Bakes Seed $1M on 2025-07-15; Misha’s Kind Foods Seed $3M on 2021-08-25). In contrast, Series B includes both very large disclosed amounts (Rael $35M on 2022-05-25) and mid-to-high cases like Mangomint $35M on 2024-09-06, suggesting B rounds in this slice more often anchor the top-end of disclosed figures.
Are there any notable size extremes besides the top disclosed round that would be worth underwriting for relative risk?
At the small end, SULA Labs shows a disclosed $100K on 2025-11-18, while nearby entries are already an order or more higher in disclosed value when disclosed at all (e.g., Lexington Bakes $1M on 2025-07-15). At the high end, Irwin Naturals’ $40M (2023-02-01) and Rael/Mangomint’s $35M rounds (2022-05-25 and 2024-09-06) dominate the disclosed upper tail compared with many other disclosed amounts clustered around $2M–$10M (Digiphy $2M on 2022-12-01; Mad Rabbit $10M on 2023-03-21).
