WavMaker, a new music licensing startup focused on video creators, has launched with $5 million in seed funding led by Monarch Media co-founder Vicky Patel.

Founded by former Soundstripe executive Matt Arcaini (CEO), industry veteran Mark Stuart (Director of Label Services), and Wavy Records co-founder Caleb Grimm (Director of Marketing), WavMaker aims to solve common challenges in music licensing for video content creators.

The subscription-based platform will offer:

• A constantly refreshed pre-licensed music library
• Simplified licensing structures
• Affordable access to quality music
• Intuitive user interface for quick music discovery

"As a musician and creator myself, I understand the constant struggle to find affordable, quality music for video content," says CEO Matt Arcaini. "Our platform frees creators from worrying about acquiring high-quality music and allows them to focus on producing incredible content."

CTO Jack Whitis, formerly of Soundstripe and Rosie, emphasizes the platform's technical capabilities: "Our platform abstracts away the inherent complexity of music licensing and makes finding the right song part of the creative process."

The company plans to use the seed funding to:

• Expand operations
• Hire additional team members
• Strengthen customer outreach efforts

WavMaker is expected to launch its platform later this month, offering video creators a streamlined solution for their music licensing needs while providing musicians with a new revenue stream for their work.
