Disclosed round sizes in New York content and publishing skew heavily toward one outlier: beehiiv raised $32M on 2024-04-25, which is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds of $19M (Semafor, 2023-05-24) and $12M (Allstar, 2023-12-12), while most other disclosed amounts sit in the low millions or below (e.g., Clearmix $3M on 2022-02-22; OpenAxis $100K on 2022-01-04). The 24 rows shown span 2020-08-04 (Atari) through 2024-11-11 (DE-YAN), with a cluster of mid-2023 funding dates: four disclosed rounds occur from 2023-05-24 through 2023-12-12 (Semafor, 2023-05-24; Chptr, 2023-11-09; Allstar, 2023-12-12; plus a “Series Unknown” entry on 2023-02-14, AWA Studios).
Stage/disclosure patterns are consistent with incomplete reporting: 2 of the 24 entries are marked “undisclosed” (DE-YAN, 2024-11-11; Jumo Health, 2024-08-19), and 11 are “Series Unknown” (including rounds without disclosed amounts such as AWA Studios, 2023-02-14). Across the listed segment, most companies are explicitly categorized as Content and Publishing and all are tied to New York, United States, reinforcing the page’s geographic constraint rather than cross-city dispersion.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the clear size outlier, and how does it bracket the rest of the New York list?
beehiiv’s $32M on 2024-04-25 is the largest disclosed amount in the 24-row view, sitting well above the next-largest disclosed rounds ($19M Semafor on 2023-05-24 and $12M Allstar on 2023-12-12). Several other disclosed rounds are clustered much lower, such as $8M Trading.TV (2022-01-14) and $6M echo3D (2022-06-15).
Are the more recent financings concentrated into a narrower window than the older entries?
Yes. Within 2023, disclosed rounds appear repeatedly across a ~7-month stretch from 2023-05-24 (Semafor $19M) to 2023-12-12 (Allstar $12M), with additional disclosed activity at 2023-11-09 (Chptr $2M). By contrast, earlier years shown (2020–2022) include fewer consecutive high-value datapoints, with notable singles like Atari’s $5M on 2020-08-04 and Semafor’s $19M in 2023-05-24.
What share of entries have missing round amounts or unspecified stages, based on the labels in the table?
2 of 24 entries list “undisclosed” amounts (DE-YAN, 2024-11-11; Jumo Health, 2024-08-19). Separately, 11 of 24 list “Series Unknown” as the stage classification (for example, DE-YAN 2024-11-11 and beehiiv 2024-04-25), meaning stage and/or disclosure completeness is uneven across the list.
Which stages recur, and do they cluster around particular funding years?
Seed rounds recur across multiple years: Semafor is Seed on 2023-05-24 ($19M), Runtime Media is Seed on 2022-12-08 ($170K), and Clearmix is Seed on 2022-02-22 ($3M). Series A also appears more than once (Allstar $12M on 2023-12-12; The Game Day $5M on 2021-12-01; Brag House $5M on 2021-09-06), indicating that the list mixes both established and early-stage deal timing.
Are there meaningful geographic patterns within “New York, United States,” or is the list tightly constrained?
The geography is tightly constrained in the rows shown: every entry lists “New York, United States,” with no alternate city/state shown (unlike multi-city patterns where names differ by municipality). As a result, variation in this view is driven more by stage and disclosure than by intra-state location.
What are the temporal edges for the 24-row slice, and which companies anchor them?
The most recent row is DE-YAN on 2024-11-11 (undisclosed), while the oldest date shown is Atari on 2020-08-04 ($5M). The funding dates therefore span about four years, with multiple substantial disclosed rounds appearing in 2021–2023 (e.g., Freethink Media $2M on 2021-12-14; The Juggernaut $2M on 2020-10-13).
