Among disclosed rounds, Webflow’s $120M (Series C on 2022-03-16) is the clear outlier: it sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $90M (Stytch, 2021-11-18) and $80M (Molekule is $22M, not; the next-largest actually is $75M Superhuman, 2021-08-04), with most other disclosed entries clustered well below $50M. Date-wise, the 21 rows span from 2020-03-16 (Jet Admin) through 2025-07-01 (Figma), but the distribution is heavily concentrated in 2021–2023, where multiple large checks appear (e.g., Stytch $90M in 2021-11-18; Superhuman $75M in 2021-08-04; CommandBar $19M and Playbook $18M in 2022-04-19/2022-04-28).
Stage and disclosure patterns also stand out. Of the 21 rows shown, 3 list amounts as undisclosed (Saltmine 2024-12-11; Mirage 2023-03-09; Unlayer 2022-05-01), and 2 use “Series Unknown”/blank (Codejet 2024-04-03; UserGuiding 2020-08-23; Jet Admin 2020-03-16). The stage mix is dominated by later-stage rounds in the mid-2021 to 2022 window (Series B/C in 2021 and Series A/C in 2022), while the most recent activity pairs a small Pre-Seed check at the top (Figma $80K on 2025-07-01) with a materially larger Seed round (MecAgent $3M on 2025-05-16).

Frequently asked
What does the largest disclosed round look like compared with other disclosed amounts in this San Francisco design list?
Webflow’s $120M Series C (2022-03-16) is the biggest disclosed amount on the page and is substantially higher than the next-largest disclosed rounds: Stytch at $90M (2021-11-18) and Superhuman at $75M (2021-08-04). Most remaining disclosed entries fall below those levels, with several in the $10M–$22M range (e.g., Rive $10M on 2023-01-17; CommandBar $19M on 2022-04-28; Molekule $22M on 2022-06-22).
Are rounds concentrated in a specific time window, or spread evenly across 2020–2025?
They’re not evenly spread. The page spans 2020-03-16 (Jet Admin) to 2025-07-01 (Figma), but the biggest set of funded rounds with large disclosed checks clusters in 2021–2023 (e.g., Superhuman $75M on 2021-08-04; Stytch $90M on 2021-11-18; Webflow $120M on 2022-03-16; CommandBar $19M on 2022-04-28). The most recent two entries (MecAgent on 2025-05-16 and Figma on 2025-07-01) are comparatively small in disclosed dollars ($3M and $80K).
How often are amounts undisclosed or series classifications missing, and does that skew interpretation of “largest” rounds?
Disclosures are incomplete in 5 of 21 rows: 3 are explicitly “undisclosed” (Saltmine 2024-12-11; Mirage 2023-03-09; Unlayer 2022-05-01), and 2 have no series classification shown (UserGuiding 2020-08-23; Jet Admin 2020-03-16). As a result, any “largest round” comparison relies on disclosed amounts only, where Webflow’s $120M (2022-03-16) is the top figure.
Which stage labels appear most consistently, based on this page’s mix of Series and non-anchored rounds?
Later stages recur, especially in the 2021–2022 window: Series C appears for Webflow ($120M on 2022-03-16), Superhuman ($75M on 2021-08-04), and MURAL ($50M on 2021-07-20), while Series A shows up repeatedly in 2022–2024 (e.g., CommandBar $19M on 2022-04-28; Playbook $18M on 2022-04-19; Bezi $13M on 2023-11-15; Saltmine is undisclosed on 2024-12-11). Early-stage entries also appear near the top of the list via Pre-Seed and Seed rounds like Figma’s $80K Pre-Seed (2025-07-01) and MecAgent’s $3M Seed (2025-05-16).
Are there notable outliers on the low end of disclosed amounts versus the page’s larger rounds?
Yes. Figma’s $80K Pre-Seed (2025-07-01) is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows shown, and it contrasts sharply with the highest disclosed amounts such as Webflow’s $120M (2022-03-16). Even excluding Webflow and other top checks, several disclosed Seed/Series A rounds remain in the millions (e.g., KittyCAD $5M on 2023-10-03; Noya Software $500K on 2023-04-05; Absolute Labs $8M on 2023-04-11), making Figma a clear low-dollar outlier among disclosed figures.
