Sentric Music Group 2017 fundraise and minority stake sale

In March 2017, Sentric Music announced that it had secured a £3 million ($3.7m) investment round via UK-based venture capital business BGF.

Chris Meehan said at the time: “With the support of our early investors and the songwriters we work with, Sentric has enjoyed exceptional growth during the past decade. We want to continue growing, developing and exploring new opportunities.

“Now is the right time to bring BGF on board. Their long-term investment and minority partnership means that we can continue to implement our plans without giving up control of the business.”
