Among the 9 Sherman Oaks entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Ketchup Entertainment’s $100M on 2026-05-11, which dwarfs most other disclosed amounts in this set (e.g., $150M for Forte Biosciences on 2026-04-08 is the top disclosed figure, and $110M for FloQast on 2021-07-21 is the next-largest shown). The date distribution is also concentrated toward the present: 6 of 9 rounds fall between 2023-09-07 (Crystal Sonic) and the most recent 2026-06-12 (Pacific Consulting Group), with multiple large checks clustering in spring 2026 (Tetrous on 2026-04-21 for $2M; Forte Biosciences on 2026-04-08 for $150M; Ketchup Entertainment on 2026-05-11 for $100M). Sector-wise, “Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 9 entries, while disclosed smaller rounds and one “undisclosed” amount (Sanguine on 2023-01-09) sit beside two very large biotech/financial-services checks ($150M Forte Biosciences; $110M FloQast).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round in Sherman Oaks, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Forte Biosciences’ disclosed $150M round on 2026-04-08 is the top figure in this list, materially above the next-largest disclosed amounts: FloQast’s $110M on 2021-07-21 and Ketchup Entertainment’s $100M on 2026-05-11. Aside from those, most other disclosed rounds are far lower (for example, Pacific Consulting Group’s $3M on 2026-06-12 and Tetrous’ $2M on 2026-04-21).
Are these Sherman Oaks rounds clustered in time, or spread evenly across years?
They skew recent in this view: 6 of 9 rounds are dated from 2023-09-07 (Crystal Sonic) through 2026-06-12 (Pacific Consulting Group). Within that window, spring 2026 is especially concentrated with Forte Biosciences (2026-04-08, $150M), Tetrous (2026-04-21, $2M), and Ketchup Entertainment (2026-05-11, $100M).
Which stage labels dominate, and what does that imply about how “defined” the financing types are in this set?
“Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 9 entries (Pacific Consulting Group, Ketchup Entertainment, Tetrous, Forte Biosciences, and Crystal Sonic), with the remaining 4 split across defined labels like Series A (homium, 2024-04-16, $10M), Series D (FloQast, 2021-07-21, $110M), and Grant (Exceptional Minds, 2022-10-23, $1M). That mix suggests financing stage is frequently not disclosed in the rows shown.
Are any sectors over-represented in these 9 Sherman Oaks entries?
No single sector repeats in 3+ entries. The highest concentration is “one each” across sectors such as Biotechnology (Forte Biosciences, $150M on 2026-04-08), Financial Services (FloQast, $110M on 2021-07-21), Apps (Sanguine, 2023-01-09, undisclosed), and Information Technology (homium, $10M on 2024-04-16).
Do any outliers suggest different risk/traction profiles than the rest (based on disclosed amounts and sectors)?
Yes: the biotech/large-check pattern is an outlier versus the smaller disclosed rounds, with Forte Biosciences at $150M (2026-04-08) and Tetrous at $2M (2026-04-21) arriving within weeks in the same city. Another outlier is the financial-services scale check from FloQast at $110M (2021-07-21), while the smallest disclosed amount is $850K for Crystal Sonic (2023-09-07).
Which entries use undisclosed funding, and does that affect comparisons to the smallest disclosed round?
Only one row shows “undisclosed” amount: Sanguine on 2023-01-09 (Apps, Sherman Oaks). Comparisons to the smallest disclosed figure still hold for disclosed rows: Crystal Sonic’s $850K on 2023-09-07 is the smallest disclosed amount shown, but Sanguine’s actual size is not inferable from the table.
