The largest disclosed round in this France food and beverage set is Experimental Group’s $427M “Venture - Series Unknown” round on 2021-11-22, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Snapshift at $45M on 2022-02-03 and Standing Ovation at $29M on 2026-03-31). At the same time, disclosed dollars are heavily clustered in a small number of sizable rounds: multiple entries sit in the $10M–$29M range (Malou $11M on 2023-11-20; Foodomarket $12M on 2023-06-08; Uzaje $12M on 2023-11-07), while several others are under $1M (GoStan $190K on 2024-07-26; Rumor Rose $900K on 2022-03-10; Winalist $1M on 2025-06-19).
Geographically, the list is strongly Paris/Ile-de-France weighted: Paris appears across Standing Ovation (2026-03-31, $29M), La Vie (2024-10-04, $25M), Malou (2023-11-20, $11M), and many others, while non-Paris hubs like Champagne-Ardenne (Winalist, $1M on 2025-06-19) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PimpUp $2M on 2024-11-15; Rumor Rose $900K on 2022-03-10) appear as smaller pockets. Temporally, the 30 rows span 2020-05-20 (Qilibri, $4M) through 2026-06-10 (Dry4Good, undisclosed), with several entries packing into late-2023 (four rounds in Oct–Nov 2023) and a smaller cluster around 2022 (three rounds between 2022-02-03 and 2022-03-23).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how separated is it from the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Experimental Group’s $427M disclosed round on 2021-11-22 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table are Snapshift at $45M (2022-02-03) and Standing Ovation at $29M (2026-03-31). This means the top disclosed round sits far above the bulk of other disclosed entries (many are in the $3M–$15M band).
Do any cities dominate the list, or is it spread across France?
Paris and the surrounding Ile-de-France region account for many of the named locations, including Standing Ovation (Paris, 2026-03-31, $29M), La Vie (Paris, 2024-10-04, $25M), Malou (Paris, 2023-11-20, $11M), and Mikuna (Paris, 2023-11-03, $1M). Out-of-cluster locations exist (e.g., Bordeaux: GoStan 2024-07-26 at $190K; Strasbourg: HopLunch 2026-04-01 at $130K), but they appear less frequently than Paris/Ile-de-France.
Which stage labels show up most, and how does the mix look by classification quality?
Stage information is often not specific: “Series Unknown” appears in multiple entries (e.g., Dry4Good 2026-06-10, Cook-e 2023-10-13, and Qilibri 2020-05-20 shows a blank stage). Disclosed amounts also include a notable number of Seed and Pre-Seed rounds (e.g., Winalist Seed $1M on 2025-06-19; Wine In Block Pre-Seed $220K on 2024-10-25), alongside large defined rounds like Standing Ovation’s Series B $29M (2026-03-31).
Are there time windows where funding appears more concentrated?
Yes. The table shows a late-2023 concentration: Cook-e ($5M on 2023-10-13), Vesto ($3M on 2023-10-13), Naali ($740K on 2023-10-06), and then Malou ($11M on 2023-11-20) and Uzaje ($12M on 2023-11-07) all fall within Oct–Nov 2023. There’s also a smaller 2022 window with three disclosed rounds between 2022-02-03 (Snapshift, $45M) and 2022-03-23 (Novolyze, $15M).
Which entries are the low-end disclosed amounts, and do they cluster in particular years?
Several sub-$1M disclosed rounds appear, including HopLunch only starts at $130K (2026-04-01), GoStan at $190K (2024-07-26), and Rumor Rose at $900K (2022-03-10). While they don’t form a single continuous streak, they recur across different years (2022, 2024, and 2026), suggesting a persistent long tail below $1M rather than a single late surge.
Which cities/states are associated with the biggest defined rounds (by disclosed amount), and are those rounds clustered by geography?
The largest defined disclosed amounts are tied to Paris/Ile-de-France: Standing Ovation’s Series B $29M is listed in Paris (2026-03-31), and Malou’s Series A $11M is also in Paris (2023-11-20). The other top disclosed amounts are outside Paris/Ile-de-France in named form—Snapshift is listed in Paris (2022-02-03, $45M) as well, while Experimental Group (the $427M outlier on 2021-11-22) is also listed in Paris—so the biggest rounds in this snapshot consistently map back to the Paris/Ile-de-France geography.
