Seed-funded companies focused on content and publishing show a sharp gap between the biggest disclosed raise and everything else: Symphony raised $7M on 2022-09-21, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $6M (bunny.net, 2022-10-05) and $5M (Recast, 2024-07-09; Sesame Labs, 2023-02-08). In contrast, many other disclosed rounds cluster at $2M–$3M (e.g., LeadStory at $3M on 2025-07-18; Tella at $2M on 2025-04-23; Phot.ai at $3M on 2025-03-06), with smaller disclosed checks like Knock Technology at $980K on 2024-09-22 and Pagedip at $100K on 2022-07-13.
The 50-row window runs from 2022-06-03 (Magazine Jukebox) to 2025-07-18 (LeadStory), and the most recent activity is concentrated in mid-2024 through 2025, including multiple $2M–$3M seeds across different countries (Australia, Netherlands, UK, India, and US). Geographically, London appears repeatedly (C15 Studio on 2024-09-19; Knock Technology on 2023-06-05; Sen on 2022-12-08; Volta on 2022-12-01), while at least 8 entries list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Nourish on 2025-03-15; Cernel on 2024-11-20).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed seed round here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Symphony’s $7M seed (2022-09-21) is the top disclosed amount in the 50-row set, followed by bunny.net’s $6M (2022-10-05). Most other disclosed rounds sit in the $1M–$3M range, including several $2M–$3M raises such as LeadStory ($3M, 2025-07-18) and Tella ($2M, 2025-04-23).
Are there clear geographic clusters, such as recurring cities?
London is the most repeated city in this slice: C15 Studio ($undisclosed, 2024-09-19), Knock Technology ($980K, 2023-06-05), Sen ($2M, 2022-12-08), and Volta ($undisclosed, 2022-12-01) all list London, England. Beyond London, the list is otherwise spread across cities like Amsterdam (Tella on 2025-04-23; Cheflix on 2023-10-23; Symphony on 2022-09-21).
Which entries fall near the top of the date range shown (most recent 90 days from the latest round date)?
Using the latest round date in the table (2025-07-18, LeadStory), entries within roughly the prior 90 days include LeadStory ($3M, 2025-07-18), Tella ($2M, 2025-04-23), Phot.ai ($3M, 2025-03-06), and Keiron ($2M, 2025-02-25). Some rounds in late June/July 2025 are not present in the shown rows, but the $2M–$3M pattern is still common in this window.
How many rounds have undisclosed amounts, and are any outliers hiding behind that label?
At least 8 of the 50 rows show “undisclosed” amounts, including Nourish (Seed, 2025-03-15) and Cernel (Seed, 2024-11-20), among others. The disclosed outliers are clear on the high end (Symphony at $7M on 2022-09-21; bunny.net at $6M on 2022-10-05), while the smallest disclosed amount is Pagedip at $100K (2022-07-13), since “undisclosed” entries can’t be compared numerically.
Is there evidence of an outlier on the low end of disclosed round sizes?
Yes. Pagedip’s $100K seed on 2022-07-13 is the smallest disclosed amount in the dataset, far below most other disclosed checks such as Cursive ($1M, 2024-10-01), Tealfeed ($1M, 2023-02-20), and Video SDK ($1M, 2023-04-26). This creates a wider spread between the low end and the mid-range cluster than the gap among the larger disclosed rounds.
