Seed funding plays a vital role in the success story of most startups, and even existing businesses. The need for capital and financial resources in driving the ideas, plans and objectives of a business entity cannot be overemphasized. Oftentimes, all a business idea needs to survive, thrive and continue to do the same is a good funding.
At some point in the success journey of most businesses; seed funding serves as the catalyst that spurs growth when ambition and sheer will couldn’t deliver. Time won’t permit me to share success stories that seed funding made possible, but let’s look at this-
Los Angeles-based music tech startup EngineEars has successfully secured $7.5 million in Seed funding, with Drive Capital leading the investment round. Notable contributors include Slauson &Co., 645 Ventures, and FLUS Investment Group, the venture arm of SALxCO, Kendrick Lamar, EMPIRE’s Ghazi, AlexDaKid, Roddy Ricch, Mustard, YG, DJ Khaled, Russ, Tunde Balogun, and Sean Famoso, co-founders of the Atlanta-based record label, LVRN.
Co-founded by Audio Engineer Derek “MixedByAli” Ali and CTO Luke Sorenson, EngineEars is set to utilize the raised funds to expand its operations and enhance development efforts.
