Geographically, the entries are heavily US-leaning in the specific city data shown, with multiple San Francisco-based companies: Submix is in San Francisco (2024-06-19 is one of the $1M rounds), while Linum and Twig both list San Francisco with $500K on 2023-04-05.

Frequently asked
What’s the top disclosed pre-seed amount here, and how does it compare with the rest of the disclosed rounds?
Iconic Arts ($3M on 2024-05-08) is tied for the largest disclosed amount with Scapin' ($3M on 2021-07-28). After that ceiling, the next tier is $2M (Artcomun at $2M on 2022-11-10; LetsTok at $2M on 2021-10-17), while several rounds sit at $1M or below (e.g., UnVale $1M on 2024-10-03; Submix $1M on 2024-06-19; Linum $500K on 2023-04-05).
Are there tight time windows where multiple pre-seeds closed recently within this 24-row slice?
Yes. June–October 2024 shows multiple closes: Submix ($1M, 2024-06-19), The Potcast Productions (undisclosed, 2024-06-09), Iconic Arts ($3M, 2024-05-08), and UnVale ($1M, 2024-10-03). Another concentration is 2023-04-03 to 2023-04-05, where several entries cluster on adjacent dates (Narrato 2023-04-03; Linum and Twig 2023-04-05, both at $500K; CinePark is also present with an undisclosed amount on 2023-04-05).
Which locations recur often enough to suggest a pattern in this list?
San Francisco appears repeatedly among disclosed pre-seeds: Submix is listed in San Francisco with a $1M round on 2024-06-19, and both Linum ($500K on 2023-04-05) and Twig ($500K on 2023-04-05) are also San Francisco-based. Los Angeles also repeats (Cross Bible $80K on 2025-07-02; Iconic Arts $3M on 2024-05-08; CinePark is Los Angeles on 2023-04-05 but is undisclosed).
How much of the dataset is amount-undisclosed, and does it affect how you identify outliers?
3 of 24 rows are “undisclosed” (The Potcast Productions on 2024-06-09; SangCash on 2023-04-13; CinePark on 2023-04-05). Because the top disclosed level is $3M (Iconic Arts and Scapin'), the identification of the largest disclosed rounds is not dependent on undisclosed entries; however, these three rows could conceal additional high rounds that are not visible in disclosed comparisons.
Where do the largest disclosed amounts sit geographically compared with the rest of the disclosed range?
The two largest disclosed rounds of $3M are geographically separated: Iconic Arts is in Los Angeles (2024-05-08), while Scapin' is in Stockholm (2021-07-28). By comparison, multiple mid-to-upper disclosed rounds are US-based and often California-adjacent in this slice (e.g., UnVale $1M Denver on 2024-10-03; Submix $1M San Francisco on 2024-06-19; Rivet $500K Boston on 2023-02-21), with several European/UK entries also reaching $1M–$2M (e.g., LetsTok $2M Israel on 2021-10-17; Artcomun $2M Turkey on 2022-11-10).
