Marina Del Rey’s 19 most recent funded listings (sorted by round date) show a wide disclosed-range: Whatnot’s $225M Series F on 2025-10-30 is the only disclosed round above $50M, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $52M (LeaseLock, 2021-02-03) and $50M (Aspiration, 2021-01-28). Several smaller rounds cluster around 2022–2024, including four disclosed amounts between $3M and $15M from 2022-04-06 through 2022-11-10 (TeaRIOT $5M, Quadrata $8M, Poparazzi $15M, Recess $5M). The sector mix is concentrated in Financial Services, which appears in 3+ entries (Spring Labs; Tradable; Quadrata) and is paired with multiple rounds labeled Series Unknown or undisclosed (11 rows combined), making disclosed sizing uneven across companies.
Timing spans 2020-07-01 (Riders Share) through 2025-10-30 (Whatnot). Outliers are not only size-based: Hope For Stomach Cancer’s $10K on 2024-09-23 is the smallest disclosed amount, sitting far below the rest of the disclosed rounds, including Z League’s $14M (2021-06-02) and Mobalytics’ $11M (2020-07-22).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Marina Del Rey list, and how far ahead is it versus the rest?
Whatnot’s $225M Series F (2025-10-30) is the only disclosed round above $50M; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $52M (LeaseLock, 2021-02-03) and $50M (Aspiration, 2021-01-28). Everything else with a disclosed amount is below those levels, with several rounds in the $10M–$20M band (e.g., Poparazzi $15M on 2022-06-01, Mobalytics $11M on 2020-07-22).
Do the rounds cluster in time, or are they evenly spread across 2020–2025?
They’re not evenly spread: after the 2020 entries (PocketList $3M on 2020-07-15; Mobalytics $11M on 2020-07-22; Riders Share $2M on 2020-07-01), the list becomes more active in 2022 with multiple financings between 2022-04-06 (TeaRIOT $5M) and 2022-11-10 (Recess $5M). The most recent cluster is also visible in 2025, with Whatnot $225M (2025-10-30), OSEM undisclosed (2025-08-14), and Armata Pharmaceuticals $15M (2025-08-11).
Which sectors are most represented among these 19 rows?
Financial Services is the clear repeat, showing up in at least 3 entries: Spring Labs (2025-06-10), Tradable (2025-01-16), and Quadrata (2022-07-12, Seed) all list Financial Services. Other sectors appear fewer times in the visible set (e.g., Artificial Intelligence appears in 3 rows: OSEM, LeaseLock, and Mobalytics).
How does the stage/round labeling work out in practice—are there many undisclosed or Series Unknown entries?
A large share of rows do not provide a standard, comparable stage label or disclosed amount: 11 of the 19 rows are either “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” on the amount field (e.g., OSEM 2025-08-14 is undisclosed; Tradable 2025-01-16 is undisclosed; Armata Pharmaceuticals is disclosed at $15M but still has “Series Unknown”). This makes disclosed sizing and stage comparisons uneven across the list even when dates are close (e.g., 2025-08-14 OSEM is undisclosed versus 2025-08-11 Armata at $15M).
Are there outliers besides the largest round, and which entries sit at the extremes of disclosed amounts?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount is Hope For Stomach Cancer at $10K (2024-09-23), far below the typical $2M–$20M range seen in multiple other entries such as Seatopia $2M (2024-08-27) and Z League $14M (2021-06-02). On the high end, Whatnot’s $225M is the size outlier by a wide margin compared with the next-largest disclosed rounds ($52M LeaseLock on 2021-02-03 and $50M Aspiration on 2021-01-28).
