In the five most recent funding entries tied to “Odessa,” disclosed round sizes are sparse: only VuEssence (Odessa, Florida) shows a disclosed amount ($50K on 2025-05-09), while the other four entries list “undisclosed” amounts (Basin Plumbing on 2026-04-09; Chapter One on 2025-08-27; Mestikon Digital Agency on 2023-12-09; AcademyOcean on 2022-09-06). That makes VuEssence’s $50K the largest disclosed amount by a wide margin, because no other disclosed figure appears in the rows.
The geography splits across the Odessa name in two countries and two parts of the US: Odessa, Texas (Basin Plumbing, 2026-04-09) and Odessa, Florida (Chapter One, 2025-08-27; VuEssence, 2025-05-09) alongside Odessa, Odes’ka Oblast’, Ukraine (Mestikon Digital Agency, 2023-12-09; AcademyOcean, 2022-09-06). Temporally, the shown rounds cluster between 2022-09-06 and 2026-04-09 (oldest AcademyOcean in 2022, most recent Basin Plumbing in 2026), with two entries in 2025 (Chapter One and VuEssence) and two in Ukraine dating back to 2023 and 2022. All five rows are classified as “Series Unknown,” and four of five amounts are “undisclosed.”

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Odessa list, and how does it compare to the rest?
VuEssence is the only row with a disclosed amount: $50K on 2025-05-09 (Odessa, Florida). The other four entries (Basin Plumbing 2026-04-09; Chapter One 2025-08-27; Mestikon Digital Agency 2023-12-09; AcademyOcean 2022-09-06) are “undisclosed,” so no other disclosed figure competes with that $50K.
Do the Odessa entries cluster in a narrow date window, or are they spread out?
They span 2022-09-06 through 2026-04-09. Two of the five rounds occur in 2025 (VuEssence on 2025-05-09 and Chapter One on 2025-08-27), while the Ukraine entries sit at 2023-12-09 (Mestikon Digital Agency) and 2022-09-06 (AcademyOcean).
Are there over-represented geographies under the “Odessa” city label?
Yes: two entries are tied to Odessa, Florida (VuEssence 2025-05-09 and Chapter One 2025-08-27), while two are tied to Odessa, Odes’ka Oblast’, Ukraine (Mestikon Digital Agency 2023-12-09 and AcademyOcean 2022-09-06). Odessa, Texas appears once (Basin Plumbing on 2026-04-09).
What stage mix dominates these five rows?
All five entries show “Series Unknown” as the stage classification (including VuEssence on 2025-05-09 and AcademyOcean on 2022-09-06). Only AcademyOcean is labeled with “Grant” in the amount field, but its series remains “Series Unknown” in the table.
Which sectors show up most, if any, across these Odessa entries?
There is no 3+ sector repetition in the five rows: each sector appears once—Other (Basin Plumbing), Education (Chapter One), Biotechnology (VuEssence), Advertising (Mestikon Digital Agency), and Administrative Services (AcademyOcean).
Are there outliers in disclosed funding visibility or geography?
Funding disclosure is an outlier: only VuEssence has a disclosed amount ($50K on 2025-05-09), while four entries are “undisclosed.” Geography is also an outlier in spread—US entries cover Odessa, Texas and Odessa, Florida (2026-04-09; 2025-05-09 and 2025-08-27), whereas the Ukraine entries are limited to Odessa, Odes’ka Oblast’ (2022-09-06 and 2023-12-09).
