Pre-seed “Events” funding in this list shows a clear disclosed-amount gap: Buupass (Nairobi, 2023-02-12) is the only disclosed round at $1M, while the next-highest disclosed amounts cluster much lower at $700K (ComeClosely, 2021-04-12) and $400K (Reelivate Inc., 2021-03-24). Several other disclosed rounds sit near the $120K–$210K band (Ticket 9 at $120K on 2023-05-24; Confetti at $120K on 2023-02-16; Univents at $210K on 2023-02-12), and two entries are undisclosed.
Dates span from 2021-03-24 (Reelivate Inc.) through 2025-07-01 (HYPE MOB), with most disclosed funding concentrated around early 2023; for example, Univents ($210K) and Buupass ($1M) both close on 2023-02-12, and another $120K closes on 2023-02-16 (Confetti). Geographically, the list is globally distributed (United States, Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Kenya, and India appear), but the United States accounts for a noticeable share of the disclosed rounds (EBO $200K in 2025-02-18; ComeClosely $700K in 2021-04-12; Reelivate Inc. $400K in 2021-03-24; Confetti $120K in 2023-02-16).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is largest, and how does it compare to the rest of the pre-seed events entries shown?
Buupass closed the only disclosed $1M pre-seed round (Nairobi, 2023-02-12), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts: ComeClosely at $700K (Austin, 2021-04-12) and Reelivate Inc. at $400K (Boston, 2021-03-24). Several other disclosed rounds are clustered far lower, including $210K (Univents, 2023-02-12) and $120K (Ticket 9, 2023-05-24; Confetti, 2023-02-16).
Do multiple rounds cluster in a narrow time window, or is funding spread evenly across years?
The disclosed amounts concentrate around early 2023: Univents ($210K) and Buupass ($1M) both close on 2023-02-12, with Confetti following at $120K on 2023-02-16. Outside that window, the disclosed highs occur later or earlier (ComeClosely at $700K in 2021-04-12; Reelivate Inc. at $400K in 2021-03-24), while HYPE MOB is the most recent entry at 2025-07-01 but is undisclosed.
Which cities/countries are most represented, and are there any noticeable geographic concentrations?
There is no single city repeated, but the list is heavily multi-country (United States, Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Kenya, and India appear). In contrast, the United States shows a notable presence across multiple disclosed rounds: EBO ($200K, Baltimore, 2025-02-18), Confetti ($120K, Los Angeles, 2023-02-16), ComeClosely ($700K, Austin, 2021-04-12), and Reelivate Inc. ($400K, Boston, 2021-03-24).
How many entries are undisclosed in disclosed amount, and does that affect comparisons to the disclosed cluster?
Two of the 11 rows are undisclosed: HYPE MOB (New York, 2025-07-01) and menta tech (Buenos Aires, 2023-09-08), plus Circular Unity (Lisbon, 2022-07-01) is also undisclosed—making three undisclosed entries total in the rows shown. As a result, the $1M-vs-$210K-and-below comparison applies across the disclosed subset (Buupass at $1M; the next disclosed amounts include $700K, $400K, $210K, and $200K).
Which entries fall at the “temporal edges” of this dataset, and what are their amounts?
The most recent row is HYPE MOB on 2025-07-01 in New York, and its round amount is undisclosed. The oldest row shown is Reelivate Inc. on 2021-03-24 in Boston with a disclosed $400K; the other early edge in that same period is ComeClosely at $700K on 2021-04-12 (Austin).
Are any pre-seed events rounds outliers worth focusing on beyond the largest disclosed amount?
Yes—outside Buupass’s $1M outlier (2023-02-12), the next tier includes ComeClosely at $700K (2021-04-12) and Reelivate Inc. at $400K (2021-03-24), both materially above the $120K–$210K cluster (e.g., Univents $210K on 2023-02-12; Ticket 9 and Confetti each at $120K on 2023-05-24 and 2023-02-16). This suggests a split between a small number of larger disclosed deals and many mid-to-low disclosed rounds.
