AudioShake, a San Francisco, CA-based AI music startup, raised $2.7M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Indicator Ventures, with participation from Precursor Ventures, and Side Door Ventures. It also included investments from Metallica-backed Black Squirrel Partners, AJR, Google’s Black Angel Group, peermusic, Roneil Rumburg, Steve Greenberg, and Crush Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to grow its research and engineering teams and AI model training.
Led by CEO Jessica Powell, and CTO Luke Miner, AudioShake provides a B2B technology platform that makes audio interactive and accessible by using AI to separate audio into their different components–from separating music into its different instrument stems, through to splitting dialogue, music, and effects in film and TV. The company works with the music, film/TV, and dubbing industries to power audio separation across sync licensing, spatial audio, synthetic voice, and dubbing, and partners with third parties to help build audio experiences across social, UGC, streaming, gaming, and more.
The company’s customer list includes departments from all three major label groups as well as major publishers like Primary Wave, Hipgnosis, Spirit, peermusic, Concord, Downtown, Primary Wave, and Reservoir, as well as Hollywood film and TV studios.
With this recent round of funding, AudioShake has raised a total of $5m.
