Among the 50 most recent media and entertainment rounds, the largest disclosed amount is Stingray’s $500M (2024-12-09), a figure that dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds: Omaha Productions at $80M (2025-03-27) and Electric Entertainment at $20M (2025-10-17) are far below that peak. The disclosed amounts also show a wide spread, with several seed/pre-seed rounds in the hundreds of thousands or low single-digit millions, including Audily’s $420K (2024-09-18) and Qoruz’s $500K (2025-07-08).
Temporal and geography patterns are visible: multiple rounds stack in December 2024 (e.g., Stingray $500M, Riverside.fm $30M, and On3 $36M all dated 2024-12-09), and Los Angeles appears repeatedly (Electric Entertainment 2025-10-17; BeatBread 2025-08-05; Omaha Productions 2025-03-27; Fixated 2025-03-12). Stage labeling is also concentrated in entries marked “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts (exactly 23 with “Series Unknown,” and 15 with undisclosed amounts), suggesting comparability varies across the list. Round dates in these rows run from 2024-09-16 to 2025-10-17.

Frequently asked
What stands out about size—does one disclosed round dominate the rest?
Yes. Stingray’s disclosed $500M round on 2024-12-09 is the only disclosed entry above $100M and is an outlier versus the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Omaha Productions’ $80M (2025-03-27) and Electric Entertainment’s $20M (2025-10-17).
Are there date clusters that look like a coordinated funding window?
December 2024 is the densest point in the visible set, with multiple entries dated 2024-12-09: Stingray ($500M, Series Unknown), Riverside.fm ($30M, Series C), and On3 ($36M, Series Unknown). Other late-2024 dates also cluster around 2024-10-17 to 2024-10-23 (e.g., Iconic Arts on 2024-10-17 and Highnote on 2024-10-23).
Does any city or metro area repeat often enough to indicate a local hub?
Los Angeles is the most recurring location in this slice: Electric Entertainment (2025-10-17, $20M), BeatBread (2025-08-05, $124M), Omaha Productions (2025-03-27, $80M), and Fixated (2025-03-12, $13M) all list Los Angeles. No other single city appears across as many rows in the displayed 50.
How much of the list lacks clear stage/amount comparability?
Stage and amount disclosures are uneven: 23 of 50 are labeled “Series Unknown,” and 15 of 50 have “undisclosed” amounts (for example, Lightroom on 2025-07-17 and Indexical on 2025-06-11). This makes sizing comparisons most reliable only where amounts are disclosed, such as Stingray ($500M) and Electric Entertainment ($20M).
Which stage labels show up most among the disclosed rounds near the top of the list?
Among recent entries, “Series Unknown” is common alongside seed/early-stage labels. For instance, 2025 includes Seed/Qoruz ($500K, 2025-07-08) and Seed/ReelSaga ($2M, 2025-05-14), while “Series Unknown” also spans large disclosed rounds like BeatBread ($124M, 2025-08-05) and Electric Entertainment ($20M, 2025-10-17), indicating stage may not map cleanly to disclosed size here.
Are there small-round outliers that might signal very different fundraising expectations?
Several undisclosed-amount entries sit alongside materially larger disclosed rounds, and the disclosed lows are tightly clustered in the hundreds of thousands to low single millions—for example, Black Artists Archive at $130K (2025-01-08) and Cross Bible at $80K (2025-07-02). At the same time, disclosed entries reach from those lows up to Stingray’s $500M, creating a steep outlier gap.
