Social broadcasting platform Caffeine nets $100 million from 21st Century Fox as the duo launch a joint venture for content

Caffeine, the much-hyped social livestreaming platform unveiled by a duo of former Apple designers earlier this year, has raised more than $100 million in a round of funding led by 21st Century Fox.

Other notable names in the round include existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Greylock Partners, among a handful of other “undisclosed partners,” according to a statement issued by the startup. Caffeine isn’t providing a specific figure for the full round of funding, but it did say that 21st Century Fox itself invested $100 million. And the startup isn’t revealing how much Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock et al. are throwing into the pot, but we do know that both VC firms previously invested $46 million across two rounds of funding.
