Six funded entries are listed for Minato (sorted by round date descending), spanning 2025-11-12 (Grooves) through 2026-05-21 (Pacific Meta). Only two rounds show disclosed amounts: Fast Beauty’s $11M (2025-11-15) and Grooves’ $5M (2025-11-12), so the largest disclosed round is $11M and it is more than double the next disclosed amount, with all other disclosed amounts absent as “undisclosed.” An additional outlier pattern is informational rather than financial: four of the six entries use amount labels of “undisclosed,” while one entry each is a discrete “Seed” (YStory, 2026-04-27) and “Series A” (HelloBoss, 2025-11-18).
Temporally, the disclosed-amount cluster appears tightly in mid-November 2025 (Grooves on 2025-11-12 and Fast Beauty on 2025-11-15), while the most recent updates extend beyond that window into 2026 for three “undisclosed” entries (Toypo on 2026-03-11, YStory on 2026-04-27, Pacific Meta on 2026-05-21). Sector-wise, recruiting/human resources shows up twice (HelloBoss and Grooves) alongside single-instance categories like AI (HelloBoss) and manufacturing/beauty/consumer goods (Fast Beauty).

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed round in Minato here, and how does it compare with the next disclosed amount?
Fast Beauty’s $11M round (2025-11-15) is the largest disclosed amount in these six rows; Grooves is the next disclosed at $5M (2025-11-12), so the top figure is more than twice the runner-up. The remaining four entries list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Pacific Meta on 2026-05-21).
Are these rounds clustered into a narrow date window, or spread out?
The only two disclosed amounts are tightly clustered in mid-November 2025: Grooves closed on 2025-11-12 ($5M) and Fast Beauty on 2025-11-15 ($11M). Beyond that, the list extends into 2026 with three later “undisclosed” rounds—Toypo (2026-03-11), YStory (2026-04-27), and Pacific Meta (2026-05-21).
Which stage classifications dominate, and what fraction is “undisclosed” on amount?
On the amount field, 4 of 6 rows are “undisclosed” (Pacific Meta 2026-05-21; YStory 2026-04-27; Toypo 2026-03-11; HelloBoss 2025-11-18). The two disclosed rows are tied to labeled stages: Fast Beauty is “Series B” (2025-11-15, $11M) and Grooves is “Venture - Series Unknown” (2025-11-12, $5M).
Do any sectors appear repeatedly in this Minato list?
Recruiting/human-resources shows up in 2 of 6 entries: HelloBoss (AI, Recruiting, Human Resources; 2025-11-18) and Grooves (Recruiting, Human Resources; 2025-11-12). Other categories appear once each across the remaining companies (e.g., Manufacturing/Beauty/Consumer Goods for Fast Beauty on 2025-11-15).
Is there an outlier entry due to geography wording or role-sector mix?
All entries are Minato, but only Fast Beauty and Grooves provide disclosed amounts, creating a financial disclosure outlier: the two disclosed rounds ($11M on 2025-11-15 and $5M on 2025-11-12) stand apart from four “undisclosed” entries (including Pacific Meta’s 2026-05-21 entry). Sector-wise, HelloBoss layers AI plus HR/recruiting (2025-11-18) while most other entries stay within a single thematic cluster like Apps (YStory 2026-04-27; Toypo 2026-03-11).
