Among the 31 entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Optain’s $26M (2025-09-12, Series A), but it sits in a fairly tight upper band: the next-largest disclosed amounts are $25M (Splitit, 2023-08-15) and $23M (OpenFX, 2025-05-22), with most other disclosed rounds clustered between $1M and $20M. The list also shows a clear temporal concentration in New City, New York: 29 of 31 rows are based in New City, New York, and multiple AI/data-heavy deals recur across 2024–2025 (e.g., Henry $4M on 2025-02-20; Protege $10M on 2024-09-10; ReflexAI $7M on 2024-05-06). Stage and disclosure patterns skew early: Seed appears 10 times, Pre-Seed appears 3 times, and “Series Unknown” appears 6 times, alongside 2 undisclosed amounts (Shouxing Technology, 2025-09-30; Charm Economics, 2025-01-23). Disclosed amounts span from K-Scale Labs’ $500K (2024-04-03, Pre-Seed) up through Optain’s $26M, with the window running from 2020-09-17 (Bunch) to 2025-11-27 (Opti).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in New City, and is it a clear outlier versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Optain’s $26M (2025-09-12, Series A) is the largest disclosed amount in the rows. However, it does not dwarf the next tier: Splitit’s $25M (2023-08-15, Series Unknown) and OpenFX’s $23M (2025-05-22, Series Unknown) remain close to the top of the disclosed range, while most other disclosed rounds fall between $1M and $20M.
How concentrated is the geography—does “New City” mostly point to one specific city spelling?
Geographic concentration is strong: 29 of 31 rows list New City, New York, while only two are listed as New City, United States (Opti on 2025-11-27; Datum Cloud on 2025-11-12) and none use other variants. The out-of-state split does not appear to change sector or stage patterns much, since the bulk of AI/data deals are still in New City, New York (e.g., GovEagle $3M on 2025-03-06; DBeaver $6M on 2023-04-11).
Which funding stages show up most, and how does the stage mix compare to later rounds?
Early-stage classifications dominate: Seed appears 10 times and Pre-Seed appears 3 times, versus fewer later-stage labels like Series A (6 rows) and only one Series B (Butler Hospitality, $35M on 2021-10-28). “Series Unknown” is also frequent (6 rows), including high disclosed amounts like OpenFX $23M (2025-05-22) and Splitit $25M (2023-08-15).
Are AI/data sectors over-represented, and do they cluster within a narrow period?
AI-related entries recur across consecutive years, especially in 2024–2025: ReflexAI ($7M on 2024-05-06, Seed), Protege ($10M on 2024-09-10, Seed), and Henry ($4M on 2025-02-20, Seed) illustrate repeated AI funding in the same general window. Across the list, AI appears alongside fintech/finance and software/data labels (e.g., Ornn $6M on 2025-10-27, Seed; GovEagle $3M on 2025-03-06, Seed).
Which entries are outliers on disclosure or size, and which are worth double-checking?
Two rounds are undisclosed (Shouxing Technology on 2025-09-30; Charm Economics on 2025-01-23), so they can’t be used for largest/smallest comparisons. On size, the smallest disclosed amount is K-Scale Labs’ $500K (2024-04-03, Pre-Seed), which is far below the rest of the disclosed range; at the other end, Butler Hospitality’s $35M (Series B, 2021-10-28) is the only disclosed deal above $25M in this table.
