Venture - Series Unknown Funded Media and Entertainment Startups

The largest disclosed round in this Series Unknown venture list is Electric Entertainment’s $20M (2025-10-17).

The largest disclosed round in this Series Unknown venture list is Electric Entertainment’s $20M (2025-10-17). That $20M figure sits well above the rest of the disclosed amounts, where many rounds cluster between $2M and $9M (for example, The Muse at $8M on 2022-09-21, Soundstripe at $9M on 2022-06-17, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship at $9M on 2022-05-10), and only one other disclosed deal reaches $14M or more (Podimo at $14M on 2021-02-19).

Geographically, the list is U.S.-heavy but not exclusive: Los Angeles alone appears twice (Electric Entertainment on 2025-10-17 and Laylo on 2022-10-12), and California is represented across multiple companies (Electric Entertainment, Laylo, Skybound Entertainment, SpringHill Entertainment, and CreatorPlus). Temporally, rounds span 2021-01-07 (Snipple Animation Studios) through 2025-10-17, with a dense mid-year run in 2022 (several deals between April and September 2022). Across 25 rows, 3 entries are undisclosed (IFS Core, Skybound Entertainment, and SpringHill Entertainment), leaving 22 disclosed amounts for size comparisons.

Frequently asked

What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?

Electric Entertainment’s $20M (2025-10-17) is the only disclosed round at $20M in this set and is well above the common $2M–$9M range (e.g., The Muse $8M on 2022-09-21; Soundstripe $9M on 2022-06-17; Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship $9M on 2022-05-10). The next-highest disclosed figure is Podimo’s $14M (2021-02-19), with remaining disclosed rounds mostly below that.

Do any cities show repeat concentration in this Media and Entertainment set?

Los Angeles is the clearest repeat city, with Electric Entertainment listed in Los Angeles, CA ($20M on 2025-10-17) and Laylo also in Los Angeles, CA ($3M on 2022-10-12). California shows broader repeat representation via multiple cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Burbank, Culver City, and others), such as CreatorPlus (Culver City) at $12M on 2021-04-21 and Audius (San Francisco) at $5M on 2021-09-16.

Which rounds fall in the most recent 90-day window represented by the listing?

Only one entry is within 90 days of the most recent date shown: Electric Entertainment on 2025-10-17 at $20M. The next most recent rounds are from 2022 (e.g., WORK180 on 2022-10-21 at $2M and Laylo on 2022-10-12 at $3M), creating a long gap between 2022 and 2025 in these 25 rows.

Is the stage label consistent, or are there missing/undisclosed amounts that affect analysis of round sizes?

All 25 rows carry the same stage classification: “Venture - Series Unknown.” For round-size analysis, 3 of the 25 entries are marked “undisclosed” (IFS Core, Skybound Entertainment, and SpringHill Entertainment), so comparisons of “largest/smallest” disclosed amounts rely on the remaining 22 disclosed amounts.

Are there notable outliers on the low end among disclosed rounds?

Filmin’s $100K (2021-12-22) is the smallest disclosed amount in the set, far below the rest of the disclosed figures such as Poptop at $600K (2021-01-14) and Gobi at $800K (2022-04-28). That low disclosed datapoint creates a wider disclosed distribution than the mid-range clustering seen in $2M–$9M deals.
