Suno Inc. Raises $250M in Series C Funding for AI-Generated Music
Suno Inc., a Massachusetts-based startup behind a leading AI music-generation service, has secured a $250 million Series C funding round at a valuation of about $2.45 billion. The company offers a freemium model that allows users to generate custom tracks with specified lyrics, genre, and instrument cues, then monetises via subscription tiers and DAW-style “Suno Studio” editing tools.
