Across these 37 Series A content and publishing rounds, the biggest disclosed check is RARIO at $120M (2022-04-21), which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts. The next-largest disclosed figures cluster far lower: $180M appears for Muck Rack (2022-09-07) but is the only disclosed level that breaks the $100M tier, while most other disclosed rounds sit between $2M and $50M (for example, Heygo at $20M on 2022-02-15 and LifeBrand at $27M on 2022-01-19).
The dates shown run from 2021-03-10 (Rogue Games, Inc.) through 2025-08-06 (Capitalmind), with a heavier concentration in 2022–2023; several $7M–$13M rounds recur in that window (e.g., Cloudsmith $11M on 2023-11-28, beehiiv $13M on 2023-06-21, and HOLOGATE $9M on 2023-08-03). Geographically, the list is split across multiple countries, but a recurring pattern appears in Berlin (Cozoe? and others): Cozero (2024-04-16, $7M), OBJECTS Manufacturing (2024-02-01, undisclosed), xolo (2023-02-20, $9M), and Steady (2021-10-21, $3M) all anchor that city in this dataset.

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed Series A round here, and how far ahead is it of other disclosed amounts?
Muck Rack’s $180M round (2022-09-07) is the top disclosed amount in the visible list and sits well above the next-largest disclosed figures such as RARIO’s $120M (2022-04-21) and Heygo’s $20M (2022-02-15). In practice, the disclosed distribution is anchored by a small number of very large rounds while many other disclosed entries cluster in the $2M–$50M band (e.g., Steady $3M on 2021-10-21; LifeBrand $27M on 2022-01-19).
Are there any clear date clusters within the 37 most recent rows?
Most of the rows concentrate in 2022–2023 rather than the 2024–2025 edge: for instance, 2022 includes Muck Rack ($180M, 2022-09-07), RARIO ($120M, 2022-04-21), and LifeBrand ($27M, 2022-01-19), while 2024 shows fewer entries such as Netskrt ($7M, 2024-05-01) and Cozero ($7M, 2024-04-16). This makes the dataset look “back-weighted” toward earlier years within the visible range (2021-03-10 to 2025-08-06).
Does any city show up repeatedly enough to suggest a local publishing/content hub effect?
Berlin appears multiple times across years: Cozero (2024-04-16, $7M), OBJECTS Manufacturing (2024-02-01, undisclosed), xolo (2023-02-20, $9M), and Steady (2021-10-21, $3M). That concentration is larger than typical single-city repeat patterns elsewhere in the list (e.g., several entries are in different US states or separate UK cities).
How often are amounts disclosed vs undisclosed in this segment of Series A rounds?
Disclosures are mixed: the most recent row, Capitalmind (2025-08-06), is undisclosed, as are several others including Luxid (2024-08-22), OBJECTS Manufacturing (2024-02-01), and Largix (2023-05-10). By contrast, many entries report dollar amounts such as MxnnCreates ($600K, 2025-03-22), Netskrt ($7M, 2024-05-01), and beehiiv ($13M, 2023-06-21), creating a dataset where outlier comparisons rely only on the disclosed subset.
Which entries look like low-end or high-end outliers worth screening first for diligence?
On the low end, The Suman Publication lists $100K (2021-08-01), which is far below the typical disclosed $2M–$50M pattern in the rest of the list (e.g., Massive Alliance at $2M on 2022-05-05; IONNYK at $1M on 2022-01-27). On the high end, Muck Rack at $180M (2022-09-07) and RARIO at $120M (2022-04-21) dominate disclosed amounts, making them the first candidates to explain what traction or market positioning enabled unusually large checks.
