Disclosed funding in Long Beach spans from $100K to $450M, but the top disclosed round ($450M by Zwift on 2020-09-16) is a clear outlier relative to the next-largest disclosed amount: $150M for Vast on 2025-11-30. Within the 20 most recent rows (2020-09-16 through 2025-11-30), amounts also cluster in the 2025–2024 window: several large disclosed rounds land in 2025 (Vast $150M on 2025-11-30; Odys Aviation $26M on 2025-10-07; Glass House Brands $78M on 2025-07-16) and 2024 (SpinLaunch $12M on 2025-04-03; STAX Engineering $60M on 2025-02-26; JetZero is undisclosed on 2024-08-13), suggesting more recent activity skewed toward larger-ticket rounds when amounts are disclosed. Sector and stage mix also show concentration effects. Eight of 20 entries are labeled “Series Unknown,” and three rounds are “undisclosed” in amount despite having dates (Ampaire 2025-08-11; JetZero 2024-08-13; WattEV 2023-11-08). Aerospace/aviation appears across multiple entries (Vast, Odys Aviation, Partager Aerospace), while stage labels cluster around early-stage naming (Seed/Pre-Seed/Grant) alongside later-stage labels (Series A/C) in the same time window.

Frequently asked
What stands out in disclosed round sizes, and how extreme is the largest entry in this Long Beach list?
Zwift’s $450M round on 2020-09-16 is dramatically larger than the rest of the disclosed amounts; the next-largest disclosed amount is $150M (Vast on 2025-11-30), with most other disclosed rounds well below that level (for example Glass House Brands $78M on 2025-07-16 and STAX Engineering $60M on 2025-02-26).
Do rounds cluster by time in a way that suggests a recent funding wave in Long Beach?
Yes. The list covers 2020-09-16 to 2025-11-30, and multiple high disclosed rounds appear in 2025 (Vast $150M on 2025-11-30; Glass House Brands $78M on 2025-07-16; STAX Engineering $60M on 2025-02-26), while several 2023–2024 entries skew toward small disclosed amounts when disclosed (e.g., ExLabs $2M on 2024-05-09; GenFlat Containers $900K on 2022-12-08).
How much of the funding history is “unknown” on either stage or disclosed amount?
Stage is missing or not specified for 8 of 20 rows (“Series Unknown”), and amount is undisclosed for 3 rows (Ampaire 2025-08-11; JetZero 2024-08-13; WattEV 2023-11-08). That means a substantial portion of the most recent timeline can’t be compared on dollar size even when dates are available.
Which stage labels dominate this set, and do early-stage and later-stage rounds coexist?
Stage labels are split between early-stage naming (Seed: GenFlat Containers $900K on 2022-12-08; Recover 180 is “Seed” but undisclosed on 2023-11-01) and later-stage naming (Series A: Vast $150M on 2025-11-30; Odys Aviation $26M on 2025-10-07; Series C: SpinLaunch $12M on 2025-04-03). “Series Unknown” is the single largest labeled bucket at 8 of 20.
Are there sector concentrations in Long Beach entries, and do aerospace-related companies show up repeatedly?
Aerospace-related activity appears more than once: Vast is tagged Aerospace (2025-11-30, $150M), Odys Aviation is tagged Aerospace/Aviation/Energy/Manufacturing (2025-10-07, $26M), and Partager Aerospace is also present (2023-07-01, amount undisclosed). Sector tags beyond that are more fragmented, with single appearances such as Biotechnology (Anivive, grant on 2021-07-08 for $500K).
