Songtradr, the global B2B music rights and licensing marketplace platform, announced the completion of its Series C funding round, raising $30M, valuing the company at $165M. Songtradr technologies are designed to simplify and enhance the overall music licensing experience.
With this investment, Songtradr will accelerate its global expansion plans, product development and fund key acquisitions, building out its ecosystem and further enriching its data capabilities, the Company said in its press statement.
“Songtradr is a beneficiary of the significant acceleration of digital adoption resulting from the pandemic. It is an unprecedented time and our focus has been on delivering value to our community of artists, composers and music licensees,” said Paul Wiltshire, CEO of Songtradr.
“This capital round will be utilized to execute our long term strategy of developing a data-informed music rights ecosystem that delivers greater efficiencies to the music licensing and rights management processes, and to expand our product offering further,” Paul added.
The Series C capital raise was led by the St. Baker Australian family office and included a number of other prominent Australian family offices as well as several existing Songtradr investors. The company’s previous Series B round of $12M was completed in early 2019 and the company has experienced revenue growth in the first half of 2020 of 160% compared to the same period last year.
