The disclosed round sizes in this San Francisco food and beverage set are dominated by one large outlier: Hero Bread’s $21M round (2024-06-26). Above the rest, $21M sits well over the next-highest disclosed amounts of $15M (Zerocater, 2023-02-16), $12M (Atmosfy, 2023-08-09 and Black Sheep Foods, 2022-12-08), and $10M (several: Superorder 2023-09-15, Rybit 2023-07-06, Elo Health 2023-01-24, Thistle 2021-01-06).
Stages and disclosure are heavily clustered toward “unknown/undisclosed” labels: 6 of 31 rows show “undisclosed” amounts and 7 of 31 show “Series Unknown,” including Fresh Victor (2025-08-28, $750K, Series Unknown) and Twrl Milk Tea (2025-05-05, undisclosed). Temporally, the newest and oldest edges span 2025-08-28 (Fresh Victor) back to 2020-08-18 (Hint), with multiple entries concentrated in 2022–2024 (e.g., Eclipse Foods at $40M on 2022-06-28 and All Day Kitchens at $65M on 2021-10-01, plus several Seed rounds in 2021–2022).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how isolated is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amount is All Day Kitchens’ $65M (2021-10-01). It is a clear outlier relative to the next-largest disclosed rounds shown, including Nobell Foods at $75M (2021-07-22) would actually surpass it, but the maximum in the table is Nobell Foods at $75M on 2021-07-22; after that, amounts drop into the $40M–$21M range (Eclipse Foods $40M on 2022-06-28; Hero Bread $21M on 2024-06-26).
How much of the dataset is “undisclosed” on either amount or stage, and does that pattern affect comparability?
Disclosure gaps are common: 6 of 31 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Twrl Milk Tea, 2025-05-05; Gainful, 2024-09-03), and 7 of 31 list “Series Unknown” (e.g., Fresh Victor, 2025-08-28; Twrl Milk Tea, 2025-05-05). With multiple rows missing either stage or amount detail, side-by-side comparisons are most reliable for the subset with explicit dollars and a defined round type.
Are there visible time clusters in the most recent year or across the full 2020–2025 window?
Within the most recent year-long span, multiple rounds appear between 2024-04-09 (JUICER, $5M) and 2025-08-28 (Fresh Victor, $750K). Across the full window, the list runs from 2020-08-18 (Hint, $25M) to 2025-08-28, with a denser stretch in 2022–2024 where large deals recur, such as Eclipse Foods ($40M, 2022-06-28), Zerocater ($15M, 2023-02-16), and Hero Bread ($21M, 2024-06-26).
Which stage labels dominate in this segment, based on the defined rounds shown?
Seed rounds show up repeatedly with explicit dollar amounts (e.g., JUICER $5M on 2024-04-09; flavrs $7M on 2022-09-13; Hooray Foods $2M on 2021-02-16). At the same time, late-stage rounds appear but are more sporadic: Series C appears for Zerocater ($15M, 2023-02-16) and All Day Kitchens ($65M, 2021-10-01), while Series B includes Eclipse Foods ($40M, 2022-06-28) and Nobell Foods ($75M, 2021-07-22).
Any outliers worth flagging beyond the largest round size?
Yes: Nobell Foods at $75M (2021-07-22, Series B) sets the top of the disclosed range, while DOSA at $50K (2022-11-03, Series Unknown) sits near the bottom of disclosed amounts. The combination of a $75M top-end deal and very small disclosed rounds like $50K means the distribution is wide even before accounting for the 6 rows with “undisclosed” amounts.
