Sonarworks closes $6M funding round

Sonarworks, the company behind precision audio software used by Grammy-Award-winning producers, announced that it has closed a $6M funding round. The round will help fund the expansion of Sonarworks’ machine learning audio technology integration with consumer electronics devices globally.  

Sonarworks is an award-winning audio technology innovator delivering individually perfected sound experience to every music creator and lover. The company started in the professional audio space in 2012. Its patented technologies are now used in more than 70 000 studios globally, including many Grammy-Award-winning engineers recording A-list stars (like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna, Adele, Coldplay, and more).

Sonarworks now is on the mission to put personal sound experience front row and centre for every music listener worldwide.  

The pandemic showed us that great audio and video technology are basic needs in the modern world. According to our research, we have found that people vary greatly in how they perceive sound, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for audio. This investment will help fuel international growth, bringing our transformative technology to consumer electronics manufacturers for personalized sound on any audio device,” said Helmuts Bems, Co-founder and CEO of Sonarworks. 

Almaz Capital, who led the round, is a global VC fund with offices in Silicon Valley in the United States, as well as in Central and Eastern European countries. It focuses on disruptive deep-tech companies in the B2B software space. 

“Our investment in Sonarworks – the world leader in sound calibration and personalization confirms our belief in strong local entrepreneurial and engineering talent. We are happy to explore the Baltic deep tech ecosystem further and help companies grow and win the worldwide market,” said Aleksandr Andreev, Venture Partner of Almaz Capital. 

With the additional funding, Sonarworks continues to expand internationally to the U.S. and now Asia, actively inviting tech innovators with a passion for audio and audio engineering to join their ever-growing team. With its rapid growth, Sonarworks is prepared to deliver on its mission to bring next-level consumer audio technology to more than 1 billion devices globally.
