Disclosed funding amounts in Los Angeles financial services are highly uneven: Air Lease Corporation’s $967M round on 2024-12-16 dwarfs every other disclosed amount in the list (the next-highest visible disclosed rounds include $90M for Dave on 2024-07-23 and $50M for Dave on 2023-09-18; many other disclosed entries cluster far lower, including $6M rounds for multiple companies). The dataset also shows a stage classification tilt toward incomplete labels, with 24 of 50 rows showing either “Series Unknown” or blank, and 2 additional rows marked “undisclosed,” making disclosed/known stage a minority.
Timing concentrates in a recent window: 2024–2025 accounts for 34 of 50 rows, and several funding dates cluster in March 2024 (Canyon Partners on 2024-03-14, Ottopay on 2024-03-14) and December 2024 (multiple entries between 2024-12-05 and 2024-12-16, including RAI Partners on 2024-12-06 and Steno on 2024-12-05). Extremes on the low end are also clear, with the smallest disclosed amount at $20K for Shemcash on 2021-10-10, versus the maximum $967M.

Frequently asked
What does the funding-size distribution look like, and is any single round a true outlier?
Air Lease Corporation’s disclosed $967M on 2024-12-16 is the clear outlier, sitting far above the rest of the disclosed amounts; for comparison, Dave’s disclosed rounds are $90M (2024-07-23) and $50M (2023-09-18). The smallest disclosed amount is Shemcash’s $20K on 2021-10-10.
How concentrated are these rounds in time (most recent window vs older entries)?
The list is weighted toward recent rounds: 34 of 50 rows fall in 2024–2025, with the newest entry at Suma Wealth on 2025-11-30 ($6M). The oldest disclosed-date entry shown is Collidescope.io on 2021-08-04 (Pre-Seed, $100K).
Are stage labels incomplete for most companies in this Los Angeles financial services set?
Yes. 24 of 50 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” or have a blank stage value, and 2 of 50 are explicitly “undisclosed” on amount (Swan Bitcoin on 2025-10-03 and UpKeep on 2025-08-22). As a result, the mixture of disclosed stage/amount is less than half the rows.
Which stage types show up repeatedly enough to suggest a consistent funding pattern here?
Seed appears frequently among disclosed rounds, including LiquidTrust ($4M, 2025-03-10), RAI Partners ($6M, 2024-12-06), Lil Snack ($3M, 2024-04-03), and Payverse ($3M, 2022-07-06). Post-IPO equity also appears more than once in the period shown (QuickFee, $3M on 2022-05-09).
Are there any notable cluster dates where multiple rounds land close together?
Two-day clustering is visible in March 2024: Canyon Partners and Ottopay both list a round date of 2024-03-14 (both amounts are “undisclosed”). Late 2024 also clusters around early December, with Steno on 2024-12-05 ($20M) and RAI Partners on 2024-12-06 ($6M), followed by Air Lease Corporation on 2024-12-16 ($967M).
