In this 50-entry slice of funded media and entertainment companies (sorted by round date descending), the largest disclosed round is Create Music Group’s $450M on 2026-03-04, and it dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts (the next-largest disclosed entries include Matchroom at $204M on 2026-05-11 and Too Lost at $150M on 2026-03-16, with most other disclosed rounds clustered far lower). Disclosed deal sizes also show floor-level noise: Blackbird Creative Arts lists $0K on 2026-04-01, while multiple deals remain undisclosed (e.g., The Care Center on 2026-06-23; Goalhanger on 2026-01-28; Fixated on 2025-12-18).
The timing is concentrated near the most recent half-year: the list runs from 2025-12-18 (e.g., Dance Place and DC Youth Orchestra Program) through 2026-06-30 (Hypefy). Geographically, Los Angeles appears repeatedly (e.g., Invisible Narratives on 2026-06-17; Dropout on 2026-05-05; Propagate Content on 2026-02-11; Fixated on 2025-12-18), and stage labeling is heavily opaque—“Series Unknown” is the predominant classification alongside many “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., The Care Center, LiveMode, and Burwoodland).

Frequently asked
What stands out most among disclosed round sizes, and how does the top round compare to the rest?
Create Music Group’s $450M (2026-03-04) is the clear disclosed outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts visible here are Matchroom at $204M (2026-05-11) and Too Lost at $150M (2026-03-16), while most other disclosed rounds are substantially smaller (for example, $50M at Propagate Content on 2026-02-11 and $38M at Breakaway Music Festival on 2025-12-22).
Are there any suspiciously low disclosed amounts or “floor” behavior in this list?
Yes. Blackbird Creative Arts shows a disclosed amount of $0K on 2026-04-01, which is far below other disclosed entries like Deaku’s $640K (2026-03-16) and WhosLive’s $200K (2026-01-09). Separately, many rounds are not numerically comparable because amounts are undisclosed (e.g., The Care Center on 2026-06-23; Goalhanger on 2026-01-28).
How concentrated are the deals by time in the most recent period shown?
Dates cluster heavily from January to June 2026, with multiple entries in close succession (for example, several rounds land in late March 2026: Too Lost on 2026-03-16 at $150M, Create Music Group on 2026-03-04 at $450M, and Swerve TV on 2026-01-06 at $3M). The earliest dates in the 50-row window are 2025-12-18 (Dance Place and DC Youth Orchestra Program), while the most recent is 2026-06-30 (Hypefy).
Which stage labels dominate, and how much comparability is lost to undisclosed amounts?
Stage naming is often not specified: “Series Unknown” appears repeatedly across the list (e.g., Skybound Entertainment on 2026-06-23 at $270K; Matchroom on 2026-05-11 at $204M; LiveMode on 2026-05-14 with undisclosed amount). Amounts are also frequently undisclosed, including The Care Center (2026-06-23), Just Women’s Sports (2026-06-03), and Fixated (2025-12-18), limiting any size-based ranking to only disclosed-dollar rows.
Is there a geographic cluster worth investigating for deal flow?
Los Angeles recurs across different companies and dates: Invisible Narratives (West Hollywood, 2026-06-17 at $25M), Dropout (Los Angeles, 2026-05-05 at $3M), Propagate Content (Los Angeles, 2026-02-11 at $50M), and Fixated (Los Angeles, 2025-12-18 with undisclosed amount). London also shows multiple entries (e.g., Acme Studios on 2026-05-29 at $7M; Craft Films on 2026-05-21 with undisclosed amount; Goalhanger on 2026-01-28 with undisclosed amount).
