Suno Raises $250M Despite Legal Battle Over AI Music

Suno just scored a massive $250 million Series C funding round, catapulting its valuation to $2.45 billion.

Menlo Ventures led the investment, with heavyweight participants including NVentures (NVIDIA's VC arm), Hallwood Media, Lightspeed, and Matrix jumping in.

This jaw-dropping valuation comes despite ongoing lawsuits from major record labels.

What Makes Suno a Unicorn Magnet?

Founded in March 2022 by four ex-Kensho AI employees—Mikey Shulman (CEO), Georg Kucsko, Martin Camacho, and Keenan Freyberg—Suno transformed text-to-music generation from concept to reality.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup lets anyone create studio-quality songs using simple text prompts. No instruments. No training. Just pure imagination.

Nearly 100 million people have generated music on Suno in just two years. The platform hit an eye-popping $200 million annual revenue run rate, proving AI music isn't just hype—it's big business.

Suno Funding History

Why This $2.45B Deal Changes Everything?

Suno's valuation jumped 5x from its $500 million Series B just six months ago. That's the kind of rocket-ship growth that makes VCs lose sleep—in a good way.

The company recently launched Suno Studio, a generative audio workstation combining pro-grade multi-track editing with AI stem generation. They also acquired WavTool and released v5, their most powerful music model yet.

Amy Martin, Partner at Menlo Ventures, nailed it: “Suno is the world's #1 music creation app. Millions of fans are on the platform every day, creating original songs and sharing them with friends.”

The fresh capital will fuel more sophisticated pro tools, enhanced creator experiences, and new social features for music sharing.

The Controversy Nobody's Ignoring
