- All identified investors (Marcy Venture Partners, CityRock Venture Partners, Trail Mix Ventures, Sonostar, etc.) are venture capital or angel investors — none are traditional leveraged-buyout private equity firms. PE involvement is scored 'none' on this positive evidence.
- Exact cap table and current ownership percentages are not public; Melanie Travis's residual founder equity stake is unconfirmed in percentage terms.
- Funding totals differ slightly between PitchBook ($22.3M) and Tracxn ($27.5M); the WWD/Glossy figure of $30M+ total is likely the most recent and includes all rounds.
- No SEC EDGAR Form D filings were directly reviewed; the intelligence360 reference to an SEC filing is a secondary source.
- Ownership structure reflects information available as of July 2026; a future acquisition or PE recapitalisation cannot be ruled out.
