AI Startup Songscription Raises $5M, Aims to "Change Musicians' Lives"

As of November 13th, 2025, the San Francisco-based startup Songscription has raised $5 million in funding to expand its AI-powered music transcription platform. The round was led by previous investor Reach Capital, with additional backing from Emerge Capital, 10x Founders, Dent Capital, and guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, who serves as an advisor to the company.

Songscription's technology can analyze audio recordings and output them as sheet music, tablature, or interactive piano roll formats. The cloud-based platform supports a variety of input formats, including MP3, WAV, and YouTube links. After using AI to analyze the audio, Songscription can generate printable sheet music or files in MIDI, MusicXML, or Guitar Pro formats, which users can then download and edit directly within the platform.
