Answers are derived from the roster record shown on this page — filing status, last round and confirmed marks. Where the record is silent, the answer says so rather than guessing.
Cameo is the marketplace where fans pay celebrities and influencers (athletes, actors, musicians, reality-TV stars) for personalized video shoutouts, live 1:1 video calls, and branded business videos. The company reached a $1B unicorn valuation in March 2021 at the height of pandemic demand, then lost roughly 90% of that value as restrictions eased — laying off 25% of staff in 2022 and raising a $28M round at a much lower valuation led by Valor Equity Partners in March 2024. Under co-founder/CEO Steven Galanis, Cameo is rebuilding around higher-margin enterprise video and live Cameo Calls.

Implied per-share price from private secondary transactions, as of Jun 2026. This is a point estimate, not a quote — the feed carries no bid, ask or spread, and a secondary print is evidence of what someone paid on that date rather than a live market. The feed’s last-round price for this company is not a plausible per-share figure, so no comparison is shown. Compare across every tracked name →
