Among the 8 most recent Malibu-funded entries, the only disclosed round above $50M is Horizon Surgical Systems’ $30M (2024-10-16), while Contractsafe’s $28M (2023-01-18) is the next-largest disclosed amount; the remaining disclosed amounts cluster below $10M, with PADO at $6M (2026-03-19), The Crypto Company at $10M (2025-12-30), and Oscar Wilde Spirits at just $210K (2022-06-08). The list also shows a concentration of activity: 4 of the 8 rows fall between 2024-08-26 and 2026-03-19, and the oldest disclosed entry is Oscar Wilde Spirits from 2022-06-08.
Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence appears in 3 of the 8 entries (PADO 2026-03-19, Horizon Surgical Systems 2024-10-16, Cynthia.io 2022-07-21), and Financial Services also appears in 2 of 8 (The Crypto Company 2025-12-30, NexGen Financial 2024-08-26). Stage disclosure is uneven: 2 entries are explicitly “undisclosed” on amount (NexGen Financial 2024-08-26, Zuma Valley 2023-07-19, Cynthia.io 2022-07-21), and 1 additional entry is “Series Unknown” (The Crypto Company 2025-12-30), limiting comparisons when looking beyond disclosed dollars.

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size in Malibu, and is any disclosed amount an outlier?
The largest disclosed amount is Horizon Surgical Systems at $30M on 2024-10-16, followed closely by Contractsafe at $28M (2023-01-18); both dwarf the rest of the disclosed figures. Oscar Wilde Spirits is the smallest disclosed round at $210K on 2022-06-08, creating a wide spread versus the next-lowest disclosed amounts like $6M (PADO, 2026-03-19).
Is there a time cluster among these most recent Malibu-funded rounds?
Half of the rows (4 of 8) land in a tight window from 2024-08-26 (NexGen Financial) through 2026-03-19 (PADO). The remaining entries extend back to 2022-06-08 (Oscar Wilde Spirits), making the list more concentrated near the more recent rounds.
Which sectors are most represented in this Malibu slice, and which appear only once?
Artificial Intelligence is the main cluster with 3 of 8 entries (PADO 2026-03-19 at $6M, Horizon Surgical Systems 2024-10-16 at $30M, Cynthia.io 2022-07-21 with undisclosed amount). Financial Services appears 2 of 8 (The Crypto Company $10M on 2025-12-30; NexGen Financial on 2024-08-26 with undisclosed amount), while Commerce and Shopping (Zuma Valley), Government and Military (Contractsafe), and Food and Beverage (Oscar Wilde Spirits) each appear once.
How complete is disclosed funding information, and does “undisclosed” limit analysis?
3 of 8 rows show “undisclosed” amounts (NexGen Financial, Zuma Valley, Cynthia.io), so the size comparisons rely on only 5 disclosed-dollar entries. Even among those with disclosed amounts, stage labels are mixed: only PADO and Cynthia.io are explicitly “Seed,” while others include “Series A” (Horizon Surgical Systems) and “Series Unknown” (The Crypto Company, NexGen Financial, Zuma Valley).
Which entries are in the most recent 90 days of the dataset, and do they change the size story?
Only PADO (2026-03-19, $6M) falls within the final 90 days of the listed dates. This keeps the recent-disclosed size range lower than the mid-2024 and early-2023 larger disclosed rounds like Horizon Surgical Systems at $30M (2024-10-16) and Contractsafe at $28M (2023-01-18).
Are any deals notable for sector-stage alignment (e.g., Seed vs. larger rounds)?
The Seed-labeled entries here are PADO (Seed, 2026-03-19, $6M) and Cynthia.io (Seed, 2022-07-21, amount undisclosed), while the two largest disclosed rounds are not Seed: Horizon Surgical Systems is “Series A” at $30M (2024-10-16) and Contractsafe is “Series Unknown” at $28M (2023-01-18). This suggests the largest disclosed outcomes in this list are concentrated outside the explicitly Seed-tagged rows.
