Across the 17 most recent Houston financial-services entries, the largest disclosed round stands out: Skyward Specialty raised $177M on 2024-05-06, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts (DC Partners at $28M on 2024-02-07, then Agility Bank at $41M on 2022-09-14). On the low end, disclosed amounts frequently cluster around the single-digit millions and two smaller $10K rounds (Credit Coalition on 2024-11-15 and Dollarito on 2022-11-22), suggesting a wide funding distribution rather than a tight “typical” check size.
Stage/date concentration is also visible. Five of the 17 rows are “Series Unknown” (e.g., Credit Coalition 2024-11-15 at $10K, DC Partners 2024-02-07 at $28M), and “undisclosed” appears in four rows (SAVE 2025-10-07; RBL 2025-08-08; Hello Alice 2024-04-04; Ease 2023-05-09). Temporally, rounds span 2020-05-14 (Liongard) through 2025-10-07 (SAVE), with multiple disclosed events falling between 2023-01 and 2024-05 (e.g., Propeller $6M on 2023-01-10; Brassica Finance $8M on 2023-04-11; Skyward Specialty $177M on 2024-05-06).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Houston financial-services list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Skyward Specialty’s $177M on 2024-05-06 is the only disclosed round in this set above $50M; the next-largest disclosed amounts are DC Partners at $28M (2024-02-07) and Agility Bank at $41M (2022-09-14), with most other disclosed checks at $20M or below (e.g., Fair Fintech $20M on 2021-02-09).
Do most entries cluster in a specific timeframe, or are they spread evenly across the years?
They’re concentrated around the middle of the window: there are multiple rounds from early 2023 through mid-2024 (e.g., Propeller $6M on 2023-01-10; Brassica Finance $8M on 2023-04-11; Skyward Specialty $177M on 2024-05-06). The span runs from 2020-05-14 (Liongard) to 2025-10-07 (SAVE), but only a couple of entries land in 2025 (SAVE on 2025-10-07 and RBL on 2025-08-08).
How often are amounts or series labeled as missing or unclear in these 17 rows?
Unclear classification is common: “Series Unknown” appears in five rows (Credit Coalition 2024-11-15; DC Partners 2024-02-07; Ease 2023-05-09; Qenta 2022-08-17; Levelfield Financial 2022-07-21). “Undisclosed” amounts also show up in four rows (SAVE 2025-10-07; RBL 2025-08-08; Hello Alice 2024-04-04; Ease 2023-05-09), and one row has neither a series nor a disclosed amount (Liongard on 2020-05-14).
What stage pattern dominates the disclosed checks in this dataset?
Disclosed funding appears most frequently under early-stage labels: Seed is listed for Metalex Commodities ($2M on 2023-05-26), Brassica Finance ($8M on 2023-04-11), Propeller ($6M on 2023-01-10), DocSpace ($1M on 2021-08-18), and Levelfield is the only one labeled differently as “Venture - Series Unknown” with $1M on 2022-07-21. Growth-stage visibility is lower in this slice: the clearly labeled later-stage check shown is Hello Alice (Series C) but its amount is undisclosed, while the biggest disclosed growth/late-stage datapoint is Skyward Specialty (Series Unknown) at $177M on 2024-05-06.
Are any entries outliers beyond check size, such as unusually small disclosed amounts?
Yes. Two disclosed rounds are at $10K—Credit Coalition on 2024-11-15 and Dollarito on 2022-11-22—far below the next tier of disclosed checks (e.g., Levelfield Financial $1M on 2022-07-21; DocSpace $1M on 2021-08-18; Metalex Commodities $2M on 2023-05-26), indicating multiple “very small” disclosures alongside large financings like Skyward Specialty’s $177M.
