In Long Island City, the largest disclosed round among the 16 most recent entries is iVerify’s $12M (2025-11-08). That figure sits above several mid-sized disclosed rounds, including Kumospace’s $22M (2022-08-08) and the $15M SnackMagic (2021-04-09) levels, but it is not the top disclosed amount in the window; the only disclosed rounds far above the rest are Kumospace’s $22M and SnackMagic’s $15M, with the next-largest disclosed amounts trailing below $10M (e.g., Proteus Motion $8M on 2025-10-02 and Skip $7M on 2022-09-22).
The round dates concentrate heavily in the most recent third of the list: from 2025-10-02 (Proteus Motion) through 2026-06-10 (WealthReach), there are 5 dated rounds, including two entries in 2026 (WealthReach on 2026-06-10 for $1M; BlueJam on 2026-01-15 for $500K) and multiple “undisclosed” amounts (Pursuit 2026-02-11; ThetaWave AI 2026-01-28; TourHero 2025-02-22; Hella Cocktail 2023-01-17). Sector coverage is led by Artificial Intelligence (WealthReach 2026-06-10; BlueJam 2026-01-15), with other sectors appearing only once or twice (notably Food and Beverage: Blackbird Foods $30K on 2023-12-22 and Vide Beverages $5M on 2022-10-18). Stages also show a disclosure pattern: 5 of 16 entries list amounts as “undisclosed,” while several others omit the stage label entirely or use broad labels such as “Series Unknown” (e.g., Pursuit 2026-02-11).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Long Island City here, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Kumospace’s $22M (2022-08-08) is the top disclosed amount in the 16-row view. Several other disclosed rounds cluster far lower, including iVerify’s $12M (2025-11-08), SnackMagic’s $15M (2021-04-09), and Proteus Motion’s $8M (2025-10-02), with many entries under $1M (e.g., WealthReach $1M on 2026-06-10 and Freespeech $20K on 2023-04-05).
Are rounds concentrated in a narrow recent window, or spread evenly across years?
They skew toward the recent end of the list: 5 entries have round dates between 2025-10-02 and 2026-06-10 (Proteus Motion 2025-10-02 through WealthReach 2026-06-10). The earliest dated round shown is HHA eXchange on 2021-09-14, with additional entries as far back as 2021-04-09 (SnackMagic $15M).
Which sectors are over-represented compared to the rest of this specific list?
Artificial Intelligence appears in 2 entries (WealthReach on 2026-06-10 and BlueJam on 2026-01-15). Food and Beverage also appears in 2 entries (Blackbird Foods $30K on 2023-12-22 and Vide Beverages $5M on 2022-10-18), while the remaining sectors in the rows are singletons (e.g., Hardware: Kumospace $22M on 2022-08-08; Financial Services: Skip $7M on 2022-09-22).
How much of the dataset is effectively “missing” on round size or stage, based on undisclosed/distribution patterns?
Round size is “undisclosed” for 5 of 16 entries: Pursuit (2026-02-11), ThetaWave AI (2026-01-28), TourHero (2025-02-22), Hella Cocktail (2023-01-17), and possibly others in the same pattern. Stage labels are frequently broad, including “Series Unknown” (e.g., iVerify 2025-11-08 and Proteus Motion 2025-10-02), which limits comparability across deals with known dates like Kumospace’s Series A on 2022-08-08.
What outliers stand out when you look at disclosed amounts alone?
The lowest disclosed amount is Freespeech’s $20K (2023-04-05), while the highest disclosed amount is Kumospace’s $22M (2022-08-08). Between those extremes, most disclosed rounds sit in a mid-to-lower band such as Blackbird Foods $30K (2023-12-22), Diggs $13M (2021-06-16), iVerify $12M (2025-11-08), and BlueJam $500K (2026-01-15), making Kumospace a clear high-end outlier and Freespeech a low-end outlier.
