For creatives, Contact gives booking, scheduling, payment and communication tools that remove the need to go through an agent or manager.
Founded in 2020 by Selby, Contact previously raised £1.4 million in a round led by Founders Fund.
Joining this funding round were Founders Fund and Riverside Ventures, alongside Creator Ventures’ Sasha Kaletsky and Cameo co-founders Steven Galanis and Martin Blencowe.
