Across the 9 most recent entries for “Ontario,” the largest disclosed round is Ten Thousand Coffees at $56M (2022-10-17), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts like Key’s $9M (2022-03-08) and Kresko Labs’ $2M (2023-11-08). Most disclosed checks sit well below that top tier: the next-highest figures shown are $20K (Four Rivers Cultural Center, 2023-11-17), $30K (The Happy Era, 2023-06-20), and $1M (RDARS, 2023-01-19).
Date and geography cluster heavily: 5 of 9 rounds (2023-01-19 through 2023-11-17) fall within 2023, and 6 of 9 entries list Ontario, California, with the remaining entries split across Ontario, Oregon (Four Rivers Cultural Center) and Ontario, California for the rest. Stage signaling is mixed, with 4 of 9 entries labeled “Series Unknown” (AV Marketing, Four Rivers Cultural Center, The Happy Era, RDARS) and 1 additional “undisclosed” round (Vivotein, 2024-01-01). The rows span from 2022-03-08 (Key) to 2024-10-02 (AV Marketing).

Frequently asked
What stands out in round size, and how does the largest disclosed amount compare to other disclosed rounds?
Ten Thousand Coffees’ $56M (2022-10-17) is an outlier: it is the only disclosed round above $50M, while the next-largest disclosed amounts shown are Key at $9M (2022-03-08) and Kresko Labs at $2M (2023-11-08).
Do the recent rounds cluster within a narrow time window?
Yes. Five of the nine entries close in 2023 (2023-01-19 RDARS $1M; 2023-06-20 The Happy Era $30K; 2023-11-08 Kresko Labs $2M; 2023-11-17 Four Rivers Cultural Center $20K), concentrating the majority of activity in that calendar year.
Which location is over-represented, given the “Ontario” ambiguity in the data?
Ontario, California dominates: 6 of 9 entries list Ontario, California (e.g., AV Marketing on 2024-10-02; Vivotein on 2024-01-01; Kresko Labs on 2023-11-08; Key on 2022-03-08). The remaining entries include Ontario, Oregon for Four Rivers Cultural Center (2023-11-17) and otherwise stay in Ontario, California.
How consistent is stage labeling across these entries?
Stage visibility is uneven: 4 of 9 entries are tagged “Series Unknown” (AV Marketing 2024-10-02 $10K; Four Rivers Cultural Center 2023-11-17 $20K; The Happy Era 2023-06-20 $30K; RDARS 2023-01-19 $1M). Separately, Vivotein (2024-01-01) is marked “undisclosed,” while the remaining entries include Seed, Pre-Seed, Seed, Private Equity, and Series A labels.
Are there notably small disclosed rounds at the low end that contrast with the rest?
The smallest disclosed amount shown is RDARS at $1M (2023-01-19), which still sits above some “Series Unknown” smaller checks like Four Rivers Cultural Center’s $20K (2023-11-17) and AV Marketing’s $10K (2024-10-02).
