AudioShake Raises $14 Million in New Round of Funding

AudioShake, the popular music tool that uses AI to separate any audio recording into different components, has raised $14 million in its latest round of Series A funding. According to a press release, the money will go towards making “sound as flexible and programmable as text or images, unlocking entirely new forms of creative expression and interaction.”

The investors:

• Shine Capital led the round of funding.

• New investors include Thomson Reuters Ventures, Origin Ventures, and Background Capital.

• Previous investors, Indicator Ventures and Precursor Ventures, also participated.

AudioShake is growing:

• Over the past year, the company has landed over 40 enterprise contracts, seen 400 percent year-over-year revenue growth, and processed over 100 million minutes of audio.

• Universal Music, Disney Music Group, Warner Music Group, Warner Bros Discovery, BET, and NFL Films have used the service.

• AI companies are using AudioShake to create audio datasets for training purposes.

What they said:

• Jessica Powell, Co-Founder and CEO of AudioShake: "From the beginning, we've built AudioShake hand-in-hand with content owners—helping them unlock new creative opportunities for their work. At the same time, we've seen immense potential for our technology to help machines make sense of the physical world through sound. This funding enables us to advance on both fronts."

• Alex Hartz, General Partner at Shine Capital: "AudioShake is building the foundational layer that makes audio as flexible as text or images. Every audio file contains multiple layers of information that were previously inaccessible. AudioShake unlocks that value."
