Chronicle Studios
Chronicle Studios is an AI-driven entertainment company building the growth platform for global franchises. It reverses the traditional Hollywood development model - instead of betting on a script and hoping audiences show up, its agentic AI platform finds emerging creators and IP, tests audience demand early, and automates audience discovery, distribution and monetization across social platforms. Founded in 2025 by tech entrepreneur Aaron Sisto and former DreamWorks Animation president Chris deFaria, the company raised an oversubscribed $11.6M seed round to back creators across animation, gaming, music, comedy and podcasts.
