Funded Media and Entertainment Startups in United States

50+ funded media and entertainment startups in united states — recent funding rounds, disclosed amounts, and headquarters. Updated weekly, free to browse.

Across the 50 most recent U.S. media and entertainment rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is $165M for Create Music Group (round date 2024-06-25). That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds, including $130K for Black Artists Archive (2025-01-08) and the several $80M-class entries (Electric Entertainment is $20M on 2025-10-17; Omaha Productions is $80M on 2025-03-27; BeatBread is $124M on 2025-08-05), making Create Music Group a clear size outlier within this slice.

The list also clusters heavily around late 2024 to mid-2025 (from 2024-03-04 through 2025-10-17), and it concentrates geographically in Los Angeles, California (Electric Entertainment on 2025-10-17; BeatBread is also Los Angeles on 2025-08-05; Cross Bible, Fixated, Macro, and others). On classification, “Series Unknown” appears in 19 of 50 rows, and disclosed vs. undisclosed amounts show a wide spread, with multiple entries marked “undisclosed” (14 of 50) and only one explicitly low disclosed amount: $9K for Latinos Progresando (2025-08-19).

Frequently asked

What stands out on round size, and how does the top disclosed deal compare to the rest of this list?

Create Music Group’s $165M (2024-06-25) is the largest disclosed amount in these 50 rows and is far above the $124M BeatBread (2025-08-05) and the $80M Omaha Productions (2025-03-27) disclosed rounds.

Is there a tight time window where most rounds cluster within these 50 entries?

Yes. The slice runs from 2024-03-04 (EQ Tickets, undisclosed) to 2025-10-17 (Electric Entertainment, $20M), but a large share of disclosed and undisclosed rounds fall between late 2024 and mid-2025, including multiple 2024-08-29 entries (Airship $8M and MIRIS $26M).

Which cities appear repeatedly, and does that create a geographic hub pattern?

Los Angeles, California is the most repeated location across the list, including Electric Entertainment (2025-10-17, $20M), BeatBread (2025-08-05, $124M), Cross Bible (2025-07-02, $80K), Fixated (2025-03-12, $13M), Macro (2024-11-12, $12M), Create Music Group (2024-06-25, $165M), and S10 Entertainment (2024-05-08, undisclosed).

How dominant is “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” classification in this segment, and what does that imply for screening?

“Series Unknown” appears in 19 of 50 rows, while “undisclosed” amounts appear in 14 of 50 rows (for example, Indexical on 2025-06-11 is undisclosed, and Emovid on 2025-04-02 is undisclosed). That combination means stage and/or sizing are missing often enough to treat early screening as incomplete rather than fully comparable.

Are there notable outliers besides the largest round, such as very small disclosed amounts?

Latinos Progresando is the smallest explicitly disclosed amount at $10K (2025-08-19), which sits far below the $40K cluster (e.g., Buzzly $40K on 2024-06-18; The Care Center $40K on 2024-06-11) and the larger $1M+ disclosed group.

What stage labels appear frequently among disclosed rounds, and where do they show up?

Seed and Series A show up repeatedly among the named stages in this slice (e.g., WhosLive Seed $300K on 2025-04-25; Hypefy Seed $2M on 2025-01-09; Capsule Series A $12M on 2025-04-16; FanBasis Series A $20M on 2025-05-20). In contrast, larger late-stage disclosed amounts visible here include Omaha Productions Series B $80M (2025-03-27) and Create Music Group’s much larger $165M labeled as “Series Unknown” (2024-06-25).
