Recent disclosed rounds in West Hollywood span from 2020-10-14 (Tiltify, $7M) to 2026-06-17 (Invisible Narratives, $25M), with the most recent entries concentrated in the first half of 2026. The largest disclosed round is Pearl’s $58M (2024-07-24, Series B), which sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $55M (The Believer Company, 2023-03-07) and $30M (Balance, 2026-01-20). Stage labeling is dominated by “Series Unknown” or blanks: 7 entries are marked Series Unknown and 1 entry (Tiltify) is unlabeled, while 2 rounds are undisclosed (GradWIN and Rosaluna), leaving 18 disclosed amounts for size comparisons.
Sector-wise, “Apps” appears repeatedly (Root 2025-06-17, Grindr 2022-11-18, ZenSports 2021-03-16, plus Tiltify 2020-10-14), suggesting recurring software/consumer-platform funding. Date-wise, there’s a clear early cluster in 2023 with multiple rounds above $10M (The Believer Company $55M on 2023-03-07, Daylight $15M on 2022-11-18, and others nearby), and a secondary run in 2024 that includes both $58M for Pearl (2024-07-24) and several smaller seed rounds like Rollup at $6M (2024-05-20).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this West Hollywood slice, and is it a standout vs. the rest?
Pearl’s $58M (2024-07-24, Series B) is the top disclosed amount and is notably above the next-largest disclosed rounds of $55M (The Believer Company, 2023-03-07) and $30M (Balance, 2026-01-20). Most other disclosed figures cluster well below $25M, including Invisible Narratives at $25M (2026-06-17) and Mountaintop Studios at $21M (2023-09-21).
Do the rounds cluster in time, especially near the most recent quarters?
Yes. Within this 28-row view, multiple rounds land in 2026—Invisible Narratives ($25M on 2026-06-17) and Balance ($30M on 2026-01-20)—and there’s another late-2025 run with GradWIN (undisclosed, 2025-12-02), RASA World ($8M, 2025-11-06), and Root ($9M, 2025-06-17).
Which stages dominate, and how much is left undisclosed or “Series Unknown”?
“Series Unknown” is frequent: 7 of the 28 rows are explicitly labeled Series Unknown (for example, Invisible Narratives on 2026-06-17 and RASA World on 2025-11-06). In addition, 2 rounds are undisclosed amounts (GradWIN, 2025-12-02; Rosaluna, 2025-04-15), and 1 entry is unlabeled (Tiltify, 2020-10-14).
Are any sectors over-represented across these 28 companies?
Apps shows up repeatedly: Root (Apps, $9M on 2025-06-17), Grindr (Apps, $100M on 2022-11-18), ZenSports (Apps, $2M on 2021-03-16), and Tiltify (Financial Services, $7M on 2020-10-14 is not Apps—so the Apps count is three: Root, Grindr, ZenSports). Separate from that, Media and Entertainment appears multiple times (Invisible Narratives; Mucho Mas Media; Mountaintop Studios is Gaming, not Media).
Are there outliers worth attention for investor diligence beyond just size?
Two different kinds stand out. On size, Pearl ($58M, 2024-07-24) and Grindr ($100M, 2022-11-18) are high endpoints within disclosed amounts, with Grindr at $100M making it the largest disclosed figure (higher than Pearl’s $58M). On labeling/completeness, GradWIN (undisclosed, 2025-12-02) and Rosaluna (undisclosed, 2025-04-15) prevent clean comparisons against the disclosed size distribution.
