Among New York content and publishing companies in the 24 most recent rounds shown, one disclosed deal stands well above the rest: Semafor raised $64M on 2026-01-07, while the next-highest disclosed amount is beehiiv’s $32M (2024-04-25). Smaller disclosed rounds cluster mostly in the $3M–$12M band (e.g., Chptr at $3M on 2026-03-04; Allstar at $12M on 2023-12-12; The Game Day at $5M on 2021-12-01).
The list also shows a stage/amount mix that is heavily “not specified” in classification: 10 of 24 rows are marked Series Unknown (including Semafor on 2026-01-07 and DE-YAN on 2024-11-11), and 3 of 24 are undisclosed amounts. Temporally, entries span 2020-08-04 (Atari) to 2026-03-04 (Chptr), with multiple closings concentrated in 2022 (notably echo3D at $6M on 2022-06-15; Trading.TV at $8M on 2022-01-14; and Clearmix at $3M on 2022-02-22). Geography is consistent at the city level—every row lists New York, United States.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the size outlier, and how does it compare with the next-largest disclosed deal?
Semafor’s $64M round on 2026-01-07 is the only disclosed amount above $50M in the shown rows. The next-largest disclosed amount is beehiiv’s $32M on 2024-04-25, making the outlier more than double that next-highest figure.
How much of the funding data is missing either stage labels or disclosed amounts?
10 of 24 rows are tagged “Series Unknown” (e.g., Semafor $64M on 2026-01-07; DE-YAN with undisclosed on 2024-11-11). Separately, 3 of 24 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (DE-YAN on 2024-11-11; Jumo Health on 2024-08-19; Bloomberg on 2022-04-01).
Are there temporal clusters in the most recent rounds, or is the cadence evenly spread from 2020 to 2026?
The date range spans 2020-08-04 (Atari) through 2026-03-04 (Chptr), but 2022 contains multiple closings: Clearmix $3M (2022-02-22), Trading.TV $8M (2022-01-14), SwagUp $330K (2022-05-13), and echo3D $6M (2022-06-15). The remainder is more distributed across 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, and the first quarter of 2026.
What stage mix dominates when stage labels are present, and do the largest disclosed rounds come from those labeled stages?
When the stage is explicitly labeled (not blank or “Series Unknown”), “Series A” appears multiple times (Allstar $12M on 2023-12-12; Chptr $3M on 2026-03-04; The Game Day $5M on 2021-12-01; Brag House $5M on 2021-09-06; plus Bloomberg’s row is undisclosed and not labeled Series A). The two largest disclosed amounts in the list—Semafor $64M (Series Unknown) and beehiiv $32M (Series Unknown)—both sit in the “Series Unknown” bucket rather than the explicitly labeled stages.
Which rounds are extreme on the low end, and are they early-stage categories?
The smallest disclosed amount shown is Runtime Media’s $170K on 2022-12-08, labeled Seed. Other low disclosed figures include Capital B at $300K on 2022-02-15 (Grant) and SwagUp at $330K on 2022-05-13 (Venture - Series Unknown), suggesting smaller checks tend to appear in earlier or less-specified stage classifications.
