Disclosed funding amounts in this UK media-and-entertainment list are concentrated at smaller ticket sizes, with one clear size outlier: Box To Box Films’ $38M round (2024-01-16) stands far above the next-highest disclosed amounts ($15M by Kyra on 2022-10-12, and $14M by LifeScore on 2022-03-07). Multiple rounds also cluster tightly in the London orbit: London appears on 15 of the 32 rows, and several of the largest disclosed checks are London-based (e.g., Daytrip’s $10M on 2024-01-23 and Bloom Coaching’s $10M on 2023-11-13).
Temporally, activity spans from 2020-02-25 (PromoMii) through 2025-07-17 (Lightroom), but disclosed-round values are most visible across 2023–2024, where several companies raised $2M–$10M (e.g., GigPig $2M on 2024-05-09; Setmixer $760K on 2024-01-24). Stage and disclosure are mixed: 5 of 32 rows are explicitly “Seed” ($760K to $5M range), while 13 of 32 rows are “undisclosed” and 8 of 32 are labeled “Series Unknown,” limiting comparability across the most recent entries (Lightroom on 2025-07-17 and Silverscape on 2025-06-03 are both undisclosed).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this list, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Box To Box Films’ $38M (2024-01-16) is the only disclosed amount in the tens of millions range here. The next-largest disclosed figures are $15M (Kyra, 2022-10-12) and $14M (LifeScore, 2022-03-07), so Box To Box Films sits well above the rest of the disclosed checks.
Where are the funding rounds concentrated by geography, and do any cities show up repeatedly among larger checks?
London is the dominant city with 15 of 32 rows, compared with single-entry cities like Bristol (Altt Productions, 2025-02-01, $40K) and Manchester (GigPig, 2024-05-09, $2M). Several higher disclosed rounds are London-based, including Daytrip’s $10M (2024-01-23) and Bloom Coaching’s $10M (2023-11-13).
Which parts of the timeline carry the densest funding signals (disclosed rounds and notable amounts)?
The overall window runs from 2020-02-25 (PromoMii) to 2025-07-17 (Lightroom), but the clearest concentration of disclosed, mid-to-large rounds appears in 2023–2024. Examples include Setmixer $760K (2024-01-24), GigPig $2M (2024-05-09), and Box To Box Films $38M (2024-01-16), alongside LifeScore $14M (2022-03-07) and Kyra $15M (2022-10-12).
How does the stage mix look, and does it align with the disclosed funding sizes?
“Seed” is one of the more represented stages at 5 of 32 rows (e.g., HOFA Gallery $5M on 2021-12-16; Setmixer $760K on 2024-01-24; Screen Cornwall $500K on 2023-08-23). But disclosure is a major confounder: 13 of 32 rows are “undisclosed” and 8 of 32 are “Series Unknown,” which makes stage-to-amount comparisons incomplete for several recent entries such as Lightroom (2025-07-17) and Enhanced Music (2024-12-12).
Are there notable outliers besides the largest round, such as unusually small disclosed checks?
Yes: WEIGHT. Films shows a very small disclosed amount at $10K (2023-05-09), far below the common $100K–$2M band seen in entries like Jellyfish Pictures $100K (2022-03-01) and StageClip $100K (2022-02-01). Together with the $38M Box To Box Films outlier, the disclosed amounts span from $10K up to $38M in this dataset.
