The big checkbooks chasing creator economy startups meant that a handful of U.S.-based firms from our Creator Economy database managed to raise two or more rounds of venture capital last year.
Our latest chart shows that most of the double dippers were high profile names, including NFT marketplace OpenSea, live shopping app Whatnot and social audio app Clubhouse. In fact, Whatnot raised three rounds of funding, adding up to $220 million spread over announcements in March, May and September. And OpenSea announced a $300 million Series C funding round last week, its third in the last 12 months.
