Across these 29 Los Angeles food and beverage entries, the largest disclosed round is Everytable’s $55M (Series C) on 2022-08-04. That single disclosed amount sits well above the rest of the disclosed rounds, which largely cluster between the $3M–$20M band, with several much smaller disclosed rounds such as Dream Pops at $20K (2023-05-04) and multiple undisclosed amounts. Dates span 2021-05-18 (Tea Drops) through the most recent entry on 2025-01-06 (Reed’s), with a noticeable concentration in 2023: multiple disclosed rounds appear across October–November 2023 (e.g., Salted $14M on 2023-10-17; Needed $14M on 2023-11-07; Drumroll Snacks is later in 2024). Stage-wise, “Series Unknown” appears frequently (12 of 29 rows), and “undisclosed” appears 4 of 29 rows, limiting how much can be inferred from disclosed sizing alone. The sector classification is consistent across all rows (Food and Beverage), so the primary variation is stage labeling and deal size rather than geography or subsector.

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size, and how extreme is the top disclosed round?
Everytable’s disclosed $55M (Series C) on 2022-08-04 dwarfs the next-highest disclosed amounts in this list, such as Belliwelli $15M (2023-01-20) and multiple $14M rounds (Needed 2023-11-07; Salted 2023-10-17). At the low end, Dream Pops closed with only $20K on 2023-05-04, while several other rows are “undisclosed” rather than small disclosed rounds.
Do recent rounds cluster in a specific date window?
Yes: 2023 contains a run of mid-to-large disclosed rounds around late Q3 through Q4, including Salted $14M on 2023-10-17, Don’t Quit $3M on 2023-10-19, and Needed $14M on 2023-11-07. The dataset also continues into 2024 with Drumroll Snacks at $3M (2024-10-25) and Reed’s latest disclosed $10M on 2025-01-06, showing a multi-year spread rather than a single burst.
How much of the list lacks disclosed sizing or clear stage labeling?
Stage is frequently unspecified: “Series Unknown” appears in 12 of 29 rows (e.g., Reed’s 2025-01-06, Drumroll Snacks 2024-10-25, BetterBrand 2023-11-08). Separately, 4 of 29 rows use “undisclosed” for amount (e.g., MaryRuth Organics on 2024-08-15; Health-Ade on 2023-09-14; Koia on 2022-04-15; Goodmylk on 2021-11-23), reducing cross-comparability of investor appetite by disclosed check size.
Which stages show up most, based on the labeled rounds here?
Beyond “Series Unknown” (12/29), labeled rounds include multiple higher-growth checkpoints such as Series C (Everytable $55M on 2022-08-04; Daring Foods $65M on 2021-10-27). Earlier-stage labels appear repeatedly too, for example Pre-Seed (Paul’s Table $500K on 2023-04-05; Fishwife is “undisclosed” on 2023-02-07) and Seed (Sauz $5M on 2024-05-02; Ahara $10M on 2023-06-06).
Are there any entries that look like meaningful outliers versus the rest of the disclosed pattern?
Two size outliers are clear on disclosed amounts: Dream Pops’ $20K (2023-05-04) is far below most other disclosed checks, and the “upper tail” includes very large disclosed rounds like Daring Foods $65M (Series C) on 2021-10-27 as well as Everytable’s $55M (2022-08-04). Meanwhile, several entries could be outliers relative to disclosed-size expectations because the amount is “undisclosed,” such as MaryRuth Organics (2024-08-15) and Koia (2022-04-15).
