Nashville-based production music startup Soundstripe has received an additional $2 million in financing from Craft Ventures, just a few months after raising a $4m Series A investment.
Craft is led by David Sacks, founding COO of PayPal and co-founder/former CEO of Yammer, and Bill Lee, a prominent founder and investor in San Francisco.
The additional $2 million from Craft will allow Soundstripe to continue expanding its presence in the production music space, where its subscription model has resulted in over 2 million “micro-licenses” being issued in over 130 countries since its inception in 2016.
The funding, says the company, will also enable the it to invest further in music acquisitions and partnerships, and expand its relationships with producers, songwriters, and engineers.
“Our goals are as ambitious as our users’, and we look forward to welcoming more subscribers as we look to expand into the growing podcast segment and international markets.”
