Recently Funded Media and Entertainment Startups in the United States

FundedIQ tracks 216 funded Media and Entertainment startups in the United States. This page lists the 100 most recently funded of them, ordered by the date of their latest round, and the full set is available on a FundedIQ plan.

Media and Entertainment startups in the United States tracked by FundedIQ have raised $1.2B in disclosed capital across 64 funding rounds over the last 24 months, including 32 rounds in the last 12 months. 43 of those 64 rounds disclosed an amount; undisclosed rounds are excluded from the capital total.

Los Angeles leads with 34 companies, then New York (26), San Francisco (15) and Santa Monica (11).

The median disclosed round over the last 24 months is $6.0M, and the middle half of rounds fall between $1.0M and $16M. Round sizes vary widely by stage, so the seed and later-stage bands sit well either side of that figure.

Seed is the most common labelled stage, with 11 rounds in the last 24 months, ahead of Series A (9) and Pre-Seed (4). A further 39 rounds were announced without a stage label and are not counted here.

The dataset is refreshed weekly. New rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, and the most recent round currently on record for funded Media and Entertainment startups in the United States is dated Jul 2026. Counts and totals on this page are recomputed on every refresh.
