Marketplace for personalized video messages from celebrities and influencers
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.

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 →
