Among the 50 most recent seed rounds shown, the largest disclosed raise is Fifth Door’s $20M on 2025-11-24. That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts in the list (e.g., EDGE Markets at $17M on 2025-03-25 and BIT ODD at $18M on 2024-11-14), while several other disclosed rounds cluster between $2M and $10M (such as Circle Games $7M on 2025-07-09 and PHȲND $10M on 2025-02-11). The dated entries span 2023-12-05 (esportsXO, undisclosed) through 2025-11-24, with a dense run in late 2024 and 2025: multiple $3M–$10M rounds appear across August–November 2024 (for example, New Tales $9M on 2024-06-13 and PiP World $10M on 2024-10-10). Geographically, the list concentrates heavily in US and UK cities, with repeated activity in London (Iron Games $4M on 2025-11-04; The Entity Studios $100K on 2025-07-07; M10 $3M on 2025-03-12) and in San Francisco (Fifth Door $20M on 2025-11-24; Brain Jar Games $6M on 2025-10-09; Curio Research $6M on 2024-08-06; Forge undisclosed on 2024-09-17). Disclosed amounts are missing in a notable share of entries: 10 of 50 rounds are marked undisclosed, versus the remaining rounds with disclosed amounts.

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size: which disclosed seed round is the outlier, and how does it compare to the rest?
Fifth Door’s $20M (2025-11-24) is the largest disclosed amount in the 50-row view. It sits well above the next-largest disclosed figures, including BIT ODD’s $18M (2024-11-14) and EDGE Markets’ $17M (2025-03-25), while many other disclosed rounds fall into mid-single to low-double digits (e.g., Circle Games $7M on 2025-07-09; PHȲND $10M on 2025-02-11).
Are there clear date clusters in the most recent gaming seed activity shown?
Yes. There’s sustained activity across late 2024 into late 2025 rather than a single spike: August–November 2024 includes multiple disclosed rounds in the $3M–$10M range such as PiP World $10M (2024-10-10), New Tales $9M (2024-06-13), and Soulbound $4M (2024-08-20). The most recent entry is Fifth Door on 2025-11-24, and earlier dated entries reach back to 2023-12-05.
Which cities appear repeatedly, suggesting a geographic hub pattern?
London shows up across multiple rounds: Iron Games ($4M, 2025-11-04), The Entity Studios ($100K, 2025-07-07), and M10 ($3M, 2025-03-12) all list London. San Francisco also repeats with large and mid-size disclosed rounds, including Fifth Door ($20M, 2025-11-24), Brain Jar Games ($6M, 2025-10-09), and Curio Research ($6M, 2024-08-06), plus Forge marked undisclosed (2024-09-17).
How often are amounts not disclosed in this seed gaming snapshot, and does that affect identifying outliers?
10 of the 50 rows are marked undisclosed (e.g., Dark Iron Studios, 2025-08-12; Tree-Nation, 2025-08-01; Mixer, 2024-04-05). Because those rows don’t contribute to disclosed-size comparisons, the size outlier call comes only from disclosed amounts like Fifth Door’s $20M (2025-11-24) rather than any undisclosed figures.
What are the smallest disclosed rounds in the view, and where do they sit relative to the largest?
The smallest disclosed amounts shown are $70K (m00m world on 2024-06-20) and $100K (The Entity Studios on 2025-07-07, plus Kontra Games on 2024-02-21 and NeverEnding on 2024-01-12). Those low end rounds are an extreme distance from the top disclosed $20M (Fifth Door, 2025-11-24), making the distribution highly skewed toward mid-size disclosed rounds with occasional large raises.
