Digital media company Semafor has raised $30 million in new funding, lifting its valuation to approximately $330 million, after recording its first profitable year since its launch nearly three years ago.

The latest funding round aims to support Semafor’s expansion into live events and conferences, while also strengthening its editorial team through additional journalist hires, as part of a broader strategy to scale its media operations.

This marks the company’s first priced funding round, backed by a group of prominent investors from the investment and media sectors, reflecting growing confidence in its business model and editorial approach.

Semafor is seeking to solidify its position in the digital media market by delivering in-depth analytical journalism, alongside expanding its events business as a key growth driver in the coming period.
