Among the disclosed rounds, Farmer J’s $24M (2025-10-10) stands far above the rest, with the next-largest disclosed amount at $25M for THIS (2024-06-17) and several other large rounds clustered around the $10M–$5M band (e.g., Leap Automation $11M on 2024-09-24; PerfectTed $8M on 2025-09-29; All Things Butter $3M on 2025-10-06). The list is also stage- and timing-heavy: “Series Unknown” appears in 20 of 50 rows, while “undisclosed” appears in 4 of 50, and most named “seeding” activity lands in a tight late-2025-to-mid-2024 window (latest row: Doughlicious on 2025-11-07; oldest row: My Emissions on 2024-04-16). Geographically, London dominates—multiple entries in London, England (e.g., Doughlicious 2025-11-07; PerfectTed 2025-09-29; THIS 2024-06-17) contrasted with regional outposts such as Sheffield (Lembas 2025-06-10), Bristol (Boundless 2024-07-09, despite listing “United Kingdom” for location), and Exeter (Rockfish 2024-06-14).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds here, and do they create a clear size outlier?
The biggest disclosed round is THIS at $25M (2024-06-17). Farmer J’s $24M (2025-10-10) is close, but the next tier drops materially into smaller disclosed amounts such as Leap Automation’s $11M (2024-09-24) and PerfectTed’s $8M (2025-09-29).
Do rounds cluster in time, especially near the most recent entries shown?
Yes. From late 2025 into early 2025, several rounds stack quickly: Doughlicious is dated 2025-11-07 (undisclosed), followed by L.A. Brewery on 2025-11-03 at $980K, Bay’s Kitchen on 2025-10-10 at $340K, and Farmer J on 2025-10-10 at $24M. At the other edge, the oldest row is My Emissions on 2024-04-16 at $2M, with the coverage spanning 2024-04-16 through 2025-11-07.
Is London over-represented compared to other UK cities in this dataset?
London appears repeatedly across multiple stages and dates, including Doughlicious (2025-11-07), PerfectTed (2025-09-29), Embargo (2025-08-21), and THIS (2024-06-17). Outside London, single-city placements show up such as Sheffield’s Lembas ($4M on 2025-06-10), Cardiff’s Coffi Lab ($2M on 2024-12-13), and Exeter’s Rockfish ($2M on 2024-06-14), indicating a London concentration.
What does the stage mix look like, and how much is “unknown” or “undisclosed”?
Stage disclosures are dominated by “Series Unknown,” which appears in 20 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts occur in 4 of 50 rows (e.g., Doughlicious on 2025-11-07; VITAL Drinks on 2025-06-02; DIRTEA on 2024-06-13; Good Guys Bakehouse on 2024-05-21). Named stages that recur include Seed (e.g., Embargo $4M on 2025-08-21; Coffi Lab $2M on 2024-12-13) and Series C (THIS $25M on 2024-06-17).
Are there notable outliers by geography or amount that deserve separate attention?
On amount, the $25M (THIS, 2024-06-17) and $24M (Farmer J, 2025-10-10) rounds stand out against the broader disclosed set where many entries are in the hundreds of thousands to low single-digit millions (e.g., $220K WowzaBox on 2024-11-13; $190K Aeropowder on 2024-06-03). On geography, the list is mostly London-centric, but there are regional standouts like Sheffield (Lembas $4M on 2025-06-10) and Exeter (Renais Spirits seed at $2M on 2024-06-14; Rockfish $2M on 2024-06-14).
