Hidden Bands: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

We put bands on the map. Our free music discovery app brings users into the real world to find exclusive music and engage with artists. Users download our free app, and similar to Pokémon GO they follow a map to capture exclusive free music. We then link the song to the artist's streaming (Spotify, Apple Music) and social platforms (YouTube, IG,Bandcamp) to consume more of the artist's content. Users are rewarded to re-hiding songs in new locations and artists receive full analytics into song plays at a hyper geographic level. Artists use this info to plan tours. Unlike Spotify and YouTube we also allow artists to email users directly inside our app. The app is free for both users and artists and complements existing streaming and social platforms by solving the problem of discoverability in a fun gamified way.

About FundedIQ's Hidden Bands Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Hidden Bands is left off this page rather than filled in.
