Participated · Series C · Nov 2025
Suno builds AI models that generate music and has grown to rank near the top of the App Store music charts. At the time of its Series C, company materials indicated users were generating over 7 million songs per day. Financially, Suno raised a $400 million Series D at a $5.4 billion valuation, up from a roughly $2.45 billion valuation about seven months earlier. The company has attracted participation from both traditional venture firms and music-industry participants, though it did not name specific artists. Suno faces significant legal challenges: it has acknowledged training its models on copyrighted songs and argues that its use falls under fair use, while major labels including Sony and Universal have sued and expanded their allegations; Warner reached a licensing settlement. The company has not publicly detailed specific future product plans or precise use of the new funds in the announcement.
