Melotech has raised more than $16 million by one of the leading US funds for consumer tech Drive Capital (co-founded by former Sequoia Partners, having backed companies like Duolingo) as well as the top European venture funds Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and Global Founders Capital, alongside angels from firms such as Spotify and Blackstone's music rights fund.

Melotech is notoriously secretive, but not in stealth in the traditional sense. Its products are live and generating substantial revenue, but the company is marketing on a product brand level instead of company level in order to maintain tight brand control.
Melotech creates and acquires IP through proprietary technology, which is then marketed and monetized at scale with AI as well. Furthermore, the company has created its own consumer apps through which it monetizes users through usage and premium subscriptions.
