Larkspur’s most recent disclosed round amounts show a wide spread: the largest disclosed is Novi Connect’s $40M (2022-02-03), while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $27M (BondBloxx, 2024-10-30) and $15M (Zingtree, 2022-01-20); Credder Inc.’s $100K (2023-07-17) sits far below the rest. The list also clusters tightly around early 2022, with three disclosed rounds in the Jan–Feb 2022 window: Zingtree ($15M on 2022-01-20), Novi Connect ($40M on 2022-02-03), and Nixie Sparkling Water ($8M on 2022-07-18 is outside that 2-month window but still part of the same broader early-2022 run). Stage naming is inconsistent: 1 of 6 entries is “undisclosed” (Persimmon, 2026-03-03), and 4 of 6 use “Series Unknown” or “Venture - Series Unknown” (Persimmon; BondBloxx; Credder Inc.; Nixie Sparkling Water). Across sectors, “Consumer Goods” appears once, while “AI” shows up once via Novi Connect, and commerce/advertising appear once each. Temporally, the rows span 2022-01-20 through 2026-03-03, with only Persimmon (undisclosed) appearing in 2026 within these six entries.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is largest in this Larkspur sample, and how does it compare to the other disclosed amounts?
Novi Connect’s $40M on 2022-02-03 is the largest disclosed amount in the six-row view; it’s followed by BondBloxx’s $27M (2024-10-30) and Zingtree’s $15M (2022-01-20), placing Credder Inc.’s $100K (2023-07-17) as the clear low end among disclosed rounds.
Do the disclosed rounds cluster in a narrow time window, or are they spread out across years?
They’re concentrated around early 2022: Zingtree closed on 2022-01-20 and Novi Connect on 2022-02-03, with Nixie Sparkling Water later on 2022-07-18. Outside that run, BondBloxx appears in 2024-10-30 ($27M) and Credder Inc. in 2023-07-17 ($100K), while the most recent entry is Persimmon on 2026-03-03 (undisclosed).
How often are rounds classified as “Series Unknown” or otherwise not tied to a named series?
4 of 6 entries use “Series Unknown” or “Venture - Series Unknown” (Persimmon 2026-03-03, BondBloxx 2024-10-30, Credder Inc. 2023-07-17, and Nixie Sparkling Water 2022-07-18). The remaining two have named stages: Novi Connect is “Series B” (2022-02-03, $40M) and Zingtree is “Series A” (2022-01-20, $15M).
Are there clear sector-level over-representations in this slice?
No sector repeats 3+ times in the six-row view: Advertising is represented by Credder Inc. (2023-07-17, $100K), Commerce and Shopping by Zingtree (2022-01-20, $15M), AI by Novi Connect (2022-02-03, $40M), Financial Services by BondBloxx (2024-10-30, $27M), and Food and Beverage by Nixie Sparkling Water (2022-07-18, $8M), with Consumer Goods only once via Persimmon (2026-03-03, undisclosed).
Which entries look like outliers by amount disclosure, and what makes them stand out?
The amount dispersion is driven by the extremes: Credder Inc.’s $100K (2023-07-17) is dramatically smaller than the next-lowest disclosed round, Nixie Sparkling Water’s $8M (2022-07-18). At the top end, Novi Connect’s $40M (2022-02-03) dwarfs the $15M Zingtree round (2022-01-20), while Persimmon (2026-03-03) is an outlier in disclosure status rather than amount because it is marked “undisclosed.”
