Across the 13 most recent Long Island City rounds shown (2021-04-09 to 2025-11-08), the largest disclosed amount is iVerify’s $12M on 2025-11-08, and it stands out against the rest of the disclosed rounds clustered mostly in the $15K–$5M range (e.g., Blackbird Foods $30K on 2023-12-22; Freespeech $20K on 2023-04-05; Vide Beverages $5M on 2022-10-18; Proteus Motion $2M on 2023-05-25). Smaller disclosed figures also include HHA eXchange at $100K (2021-09-14) and BlueJam at $500K (2024-11-21), with only two disclosed rounds above $7M (Skip $7M on 2022-09-22 and Kumospace $22M on 2022-08-08).
Timing and disclosure patterns add structure: 5 of the 13 entries have “Series Unknown” or a blank round type (Blackbird Foods 2023-12-22, Proteus Motion 2023-05-25, Hella Cocktail 2023-01-17, Vide Beverages 2022-10-18, Diggs 2021-06-16), and 2 are “undisclosed” on amount (TourHero 2025-02-22; Hella Cocktail 2023-01-17). The newest activity sits in late 2025 (iVerify on 2025-11-08), while the oldest visible round is SnackMagic on 2021-04-09, creating an ~4.6-year span across the same city.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds in Long Island City here, and how concentrated are they at the top?
Kumospace’s $22M (2022-08-08) is the largest disclosed round in the table, materially above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $12M (iVerify, 2025-11-08) and $15M (SnackMagic, 2021-04-09). Most other disclosed rounds are far lower (for example, Vide Beverages $5M on 2022-10-18 and Skip $7M on 2022-09-22).
Is there a temporal cluster among the most recent rounds shown?
Yes. There is a dense mid-2023 window: four rounds fall between 2023-04-05 (Freespeech, $20K) and 2023-12-22 (Blackbird Foods, $30K), including Proteus Motion ($2M on 2023-05-25) and Hella Cocktail (2023-01-17, undisclosed). In contrast, the table’s edges run from 2021-04-09 (SnackMagic) to 2025-11-08 (iVerify).
How often is the round type or disclosed amount missing in this NYC segment?
Round classification is often incomplete: 5 of 13 rows show “Series Unknown” (Blackbird Foods, Proteus Motion, Hella Cocktail, Vide Beverages) plus Diggs with a blank round type. Amounts are also missing twice: TourHero ($ undisclosed) on 2025-02-22 and Hella Cocktail (amount undisclosed) on 2023-01-17.
Which stage labels appear alongside the largest dollars, if you need a quick stage proxy?
The largest amounts are not tied to a single labeled stage, but they cluster around a few familiar tags: Kumospace is labeled “Series A” with $22M (2022-08-08), while iVerify is listed as “Venture - Series Unknown” with $12M (2025-11-08) and SnackMagic is labeled “Series A” with $15M (2021-04-09). Seed-sized disclosed rounds exist but sit lower (e.g., BlueJam $500K on 2024-11-21).
Are any sectors repeated, suggesting thematic concentration in Long Island City?
Food and Beverage appears multiple times (Blackbird Foods $30K on 2023-12-22; Vide Beverages $5M on 2022-10-18), and Commerce and Shopping appears multiple times (Hella Cocktail on 2023-01-17, amount undisclosed; Diggs on 2021-06-16 with $13M).
