HOLYWATER raised $22M for the development of vertical series. The round was led by Horizon Capital
HOLYWATER announced the closing of a $22 million investment round for the development of streaming products in the vertical series segment. The round was led by Horizon Capital with participation from Endeavor Catalyst and Wheelhouse.
This was reported to AIN by Horizon Capital.
The funds raised will be used to develop a mobile-first streaming platform for vertical series based on the Netflix model and to scale the content ecosystem, particularly in the areas of AI comics and anime.
HOLYWATER will also focus on expanding its infrastructure for IP creation, testing, and distribution, as well as entering new genres.
“Their innovative approach to content production, combined with a systematic data-driven user engagement model, has enabled the company to scale rapidly while maintaining high audience engagement and retention rates. In a short period of time, HOLYWATER has gained a leading position in the new short-form content segment. We are happy to continue supporting the team as it builds a strong, niche-defining business,” said Vasil Tofan, Senior Partner at Horizon Capital.
This $22 million round complemented another investment in the platform made by Fox Entertainment in October 2025.
