STAGE has successfully raised $12.5 million in Series B funding, led by Goodwater Capital and Blume Ventures, with $2.5 million allocated for angel investors. This funding is seen as validation for India's regional cultures, empowering 20 million users and over 4.4 million paying households. STAGE aims to celebrate cultural identities, particularly Haryanvi, Rajasthani, and Bhojpuri, which have historically been marginalized. The platform connects generations through stories, allowing individuals to explore their roots with pride. With the new funding, STAGE plans to tell more stories and expand its cultural offerings, reinforcing that every culture matters and deserves celebration.
