Singapore-headquartered digital entertainment company POPS WORLDWIDE on Thursday said it is targeting to raise $50 million in a Series D funding round in 2021 to drive its growth strategy.

To date, the entertainment company has raised a total of $37 million in funding. In 2017, the company raised an undisclosed sum from Turner Asia Pacific, the Asian branch of Time Warner.
The company hopes to use the proceeds from the proposed Series D round to grow across Southeast Asia, starting with the Philippines, it said in the statement. It is also looking to deepen its presence in Indonesia, where it is seeing good traction.
