Within Oakland’s financial services deals shown here (11 rows), the largest disclosed round is Spinwheel’s $30M Series A on 2025-06-23, which stands out from the rest of the disclosed amounts. The next-highest disclosed figures are PolySign’s $25M debt financing (2022-06-28) and Gappify’s $10M Series B (2023-05-01); most other rounds cluster well below that, including several at $2M–$7M. Date-wise, the list tightens into a late-2022 to 2023 run: five rounds between 2022-09-19 (CNote $7M and LENDonate $2M) and 2023-06-13 (Bluejay HOA $2M) account for a large share of the window shown. Stage labeling is mixed: there are two “Series Unknown” classifications (Bluejay HOA in 2023-06-13 and Emerging Impact in 2021-12-06), alongside named Seed, Series A, Series B, and debt/other categories. The disclosed amounts span from Data Mynt’s $2M seed on 2021-07-19 up through Spinwheel in 2025-06-23.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Oakland financial-services set, and does it meaningfully separate from the rest?
Spinwheel’s $30M Series A (2025-06-23) is the clear outlier on the top end, with only PolySign’s $25M debt financing (2022-06-28) getting close. The next-largest disclosed amount after $25M is $10M (Gappify, 2023-05-01), while several rounds are $2M–$7M (e.g., Savus $3M on 2024-12-10; CNote $7M on 2022-09-19).
Do these Oakland deals cluster in a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They cluster around late 2022 through 2023 rather than evenly spreading: LENDonate $2M (2022-09-19), CNote $7M (2022-09-19), PolySign $25M (2022-06-28), Afriex $10M (2022-04-25), and then Gappify $10M (2023-05-01) and Bluejay HOA $2M (2023-06-13) form a dense middle segment. The oldest disclosed date in the list is 2021-07-19 (Data Mynt $2M), while the most recent is 2025-06-23 (Spinwheel $30M).
Is there a dominant stage pattern, or are stages dispersed across Seed/Series and debt/other?
Stages are dispersed rather than dominated by a single label: Seed appears at least three times (Savus $3M on 2024-12-10; Data Mynt $2M on 2021-07-19; Emerging Impact is labeled “Venture - Series Unknown” on 2021-12-06), while Series A appears multiple times (Spinwheel $30M on 2025-06-23; CNote $7M on 2022-09-19; Afriex $10M on 2022-04-25). Debt/other categories also recur (PolySign debt financing $25M on 2022-06-28; LENDonate debt financing $2M on 2022-09-19; plus nonstandard labels like “Series Unknown” for Bluejay HOA $2M on 2023-06-13).
How often are rounds labeled “Series Unknown,” and where do those entries sit in the timeline?
Two entries carry “Series Unknown”-type labeling: Bluejay HOA is marked “Series Unknown” with a $2M round on 2023-06-13, and Emerging Impact is marked “Venture - Series Unknown” with a $2M round on 2021-12-06. Both are mid-to-lower disclosed amounts (each $2M), not the high-end rounds like Spinwheel’s $30M (2025-06-23) or PolySign’s $25M (2022-06-28).
Are there notable low-end floors or small-round clusters compared with the top end?
The smallest disclosed amount is $2M, shown by multiple entries: Bluejay HOA $2M (2023-06-13), LENDonate $2M (2022-09-19), Emerging Impact $2M (2021-12-06), and Data Mynt $2M (2021-07-19). That $2M floor sits far below the top disclosed rounds—Spinwheel at $30M (2025-06-23) and PolySign at $25M (2022-06-28)—creating a wide spread between the low-end repeats and the high-end outliers.
