\n\tSony led Cosm\u2019s Series C financing round and will take a minority ownership stake in the company, while SPE CEO and chairman Ravi Ahuja will join Cosm\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n

\n\tCosm, founded in 2020 by Steve Winn, has opened several dome structures throughout the U.S. Cosm\u2019s venues \u2014\u00a0three in Los Angeles, Dallas and Atlanta, with upcoming venues in Detroit and Cleveland\u2014\u00a0allow fans to experience sporting events and other entertainment experiences through various 87-foot, 12K LED dome displays, selling different seating tiers to hundreds of fans that mimic fans\u2019 attendance at sporting events. It was the technology and collective experience that lured Sony to invest in the company, according to a source familiar with the matter, with hopes to have the funds help Cosm expand its market footprint domestically and worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\tCosm has struck partnerships with the NFL, NBA, WWE, NBC Sports, ESPN, CBS Sports and other sports broadcasters, and it has also shown films such as \u201cThe Matrix,\u201c\u00a0\u201cHarry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone\u201d\u00a0and \u201cWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.\u201d Sony plans to experiment with new ways to screen its own slate of franchises using the technology, according to the source, potentially bringing its \u201cSpider-Man,\u201d \u201cRocky\u201d\u00a0and anime movies along with films under their \u201cClassics\u201d\u00a0banner\u00a0to the shared-reality format. The company hopes to announce which projects make it to Cosm screens before the end of the year, according to the source.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCosm sits at the intersection of several trends shaping the future of entertainment. We\u2019ve followed Cosm since before launch and have been impressed with the quality of the experience and the enthusiasm it\u2019s generating with audiences,\u201d Ahuja said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to support Cosm\u2019s next phase of growth and help bring these experiences to more fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move also represents Sony\u2019s latest encroachment into the theatrical space following its 2024 purchase of the Alamo Drafthouse line of theaters. Sony plans to keep the two separate, according to a source familiar with the matter, but the company views both investments in line with the studio\u2019s experiences intitatives.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSony Pictures shares our passion for innovation and the future of the fan experience, and this investment represents that,\u201d Cosm President and CEO Jeb Terry added. \u201cWe will use this capital to fuel Cosm\u2019s growth as we expand our venue network and advance our technology initiatives across both Sports and Entertainment. Sony is one of the most storied technology and entertainment companies in the world with IP spanning across films, tv, music, and games. Together, we\u2019re positioned to bring more of the world\u2019s most iconic IP to life in Shared Reality as we continue to super serve our fans around the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tGoldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Allen & Company\u00a0LLC served as Cosm\u2019s financial advisors in the financing round.<\/p>\n
