Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS On October 14, 2020, Software Acquisition Group Inc., a special purpose acquisition company and a Delaware corporation (“SAQN”), consummated a reverse merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 10, 2020 (the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CuriosityStream Operating Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy CuriosityStream”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of SAQN, and the registrant changed its name from “Software Acquisition Group Inc.” to “CuriosityStream Inc.” Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Legacy CuriosityStream changed its name from “CuriosityStream Operating Inc.” to “Curiosity Inc.” The principal business of CuriosityStream Inc. (the "Company" or "CuriosityStream") is providing customers with access to high quality factual content via a direct subscription video on-demand (SVOD) platform accessible by internet connected devices, or indirectly via distribution partners who deliver CuriosityStream content via the distributor’s platform or system. The Company's online library available for streaming spans the entire category of factual entertainment including science, history, society, nature, lifestyle, and technology. The library is composed of thousands of accessible on-demand and ad-free productions and includes shows and series from leading nonfiction producers. The Company’s content assets are available for consuming directly through its owned and operated website (“O&O Consumer Service”), mobile applications developed for iOS and Android operating systems (“App Services”), and via the platforms and systems of third-party partners in exchange for license fees. The Company offers subscribers a monthly or annual subscription. The price for a subscription varies depending on the location of the subscriber, the content included (e.g., Direct Service or Smart Bundle service) and the length of the subscription (e.g., monthly or annual) selected by the customer. As an additional part of the Company’s App Services, it has built applications to make its service accessible on almost every major customer device, including streaming media players like Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV and major smart TV brands (e.g., LG, Vizio, Samsung). In addition, CuriosityStream has affiliate agreement relationships with, and its content assets are available through, certain multichannel video programming distributors (“MVPDs”) and virtual MVPDs (“vMVPDs”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates include the content asset amortization, the assessment of the recoverability of content assets and equity method investments, and the determination of fair value estimates related to non-monetary transactions, share-based awards and liability classified warrants. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits. Investments in debt securities are held with reputable institutions and are monitored to manage credit risk exposure. Accounts receivable, net are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers, the majority of which are located in the United States. Investments in Debt Securities The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity “"HTM” under ASC “Accounting Standards Codification” 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” HTM investments represent securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and they are reported at amortized cost. Investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Investments with longer maturities are classified as short-term or long-term investments based on the remaining maturity at each balance sheet date and the Company’s intent to hold the security. Interest income earned from HTM investments is recognized in the income statement as “Interest and other Income” under non-operating income. Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The applicable accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 : Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis have included its investments in money market funds, U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, municipal debt securities and certificates of deposit. Level 1 inputs were derived by using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and were used to value the Company’s investments in money market funds, U.S. government debt securities and certificate of deposit. Level 2 inputs were derived using prices for similar investments and were used to value the Company’s investments in corporate and municipal debt securities. The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its private pla cement warrants issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the Company’s former sponsor, in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Refer to Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity for significant assumptions which the Company used in the fair value model for the Private Placement Warrants. Ce rtain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, e.g., when there is evidence of impairment indicators. The Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company, as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
EQUITY INVESTMENTS	EQUITY INVESTMENTS The Company holds equity investments in Spiegel TV Geschichte und Wissen GmbH & Co. KG (the “Spiegel Venture”) and Watch Nebula LLC (“Nebula”). The Company accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s carrying values for its equity method investments as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were as follows: (in thousands) Spiegel Venture Nebula Total Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 1,736 $ 4,618 $ 6,354 Equity method investment loss (1,553) (622) (2,175) Balance at September 30, 2024 $ 183 $ 3,996 $ 4,179 SPIEGEL VENTURE In July 2021, the Company acquired a 32% ownership in the Spiegel Venture for an initial investment of $3.3 million. The Spiegel Venture, which prior to the Company’s equity purchase, was jointly owned and operated by Spiegel TV GmbH (“Spiegel TV”) and Autentic GmbH (“Autentic”), operates two documentary channels, together with an SVOD service as well as a free advertising-supported streaming television (FAST) channel, which provide factual content to pay television audiences in Germany and certain German-speaking regions of other countries. The Company has not received any dividends from the Spiegel Venture as of September 30, 2024. Per the Share Purchase Agreement (as amended in early 2023, the “SPA”), in the event the Spiegel Venture achieved certain financial targets during its 2022 fiscal period, the Company was required to make an additional payment related to its 32% equity ownership to both Spiegel TV and Autentic (the “Holdback Payment”). During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company determined the Spiegel Venture had achieved such financial targets, resulting in the Company paying a Holdback Payment in the amount of $0.9 million to the Spiegel TV and Autentic d uring July 2023. This payment has been recorded as an equity investment in the balance sheet. The Company has a call option that permits it to require Spiegel TV and Autentic to sell their respective ownership interests in the Spiegel Venture (the “Call Option”) to the Company. The Call Option, exercisable at a value based on a determinable calculation in the SPA, is initially exercisable only during the period that is the later of (i) 30 business days following the adoption of the Spiegel Venture’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2025, and (ii) the period between March 1, 2026, and March 31, 2026. Together with the Call Option, each of Spiegel TV and Autentic has a put option that permits it to require the Company to purchase their interest (the “Put Option”) at a value based on a determinable calculation outlined in the SPA. The Put Option is only exercisable during the period that is the later of (i) 60 business days following the adoption of the Spiegel Venture’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year 2025, and (ii) the period between April 1, 2026, and April 30, 2026. In the event that neither the Call Option nor the Put Option is exercised, both options will continue to be available to each respective party in perpetuity beginning in the following year, with its exercise limited to the applicable date range outlined above. NEBULA Nebula is an SVOD technology platform built for and by a group of independent content creators. Prior to the Company’s investment, Nebula was a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard Broadcast LLC (“Standard”). On August 23, 2021, the Company purchased a 12% ownership interest in Nebula for $6.0 million. Upon its initial investment, the Company obtained 25% representation on Nebula’s Board of Directors. Since the time of its original investment, the Company purchased additional incremental ownership interests, each for a payment of $0.8 million and representing 1.625% of equity ownership, if Nebula met certain quarterly targets. The Company made three subsequent incremental purchases, bringing its total ownership interest in Nebula to 16.875% as of September 30, 2024. The opportunity or obligation to make additional purchases ended as of September 30, 2023. Because the Company did not purchase at least two consecutive ownership interests in Nebula, effective December 15, 2023, Standard removed the Company’s seat on the Nebula Board of Directors. The Company has not received dividends from Nebula as of September 30, 2024. Beginning August 2021, the Company included access to Nebula’s SVOD service as a part of a combined CuriosityStream / Watch Nebula subscription offer and as part of the Company’s Smart Bundle subscription package. As part of this arrangement, the Company shared revenue with Nebula, based on certain metrics, and paid monthly. On September 26, 2023, Nebula provided the Company with a notice of non-renewal, resulting in the expiration of the revenue share agreement at the end of 2023. Nebula was required to make its service available to subscribers of these offerings through the end of the term of any such subscription that existed as of December 31, 2023.

Of the $19.9 million unamortized cost of produced content that had been released as of September 30, 2024, the Company expects that $7.4 million, $6.0 million and $4.1 million will be amortized in each of the next three years. Impairment Assessment The Company’s primary business model is subscription-based as opposed to a model based on generating revenues at a specific title level. Content assets are predominantly monetized as a group and therefore are reviewed in aggregate at a group level when an event or change in circumstances indicates a change in the expected usefulness of the content or that the fair value may be less than unamortized cost. If such changes are identified, the aggregated content library will be stated at the lower of unamortized cost or fair value. In addition, unamortized costs are written off for content assets that have been, or are expected to be abandoned. Amortization In accordance with its accounting policy for content assets, the Company amortizes licensed content costs and produced content costs, which is included within cost of revenues in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, content amortization was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Licensed content $ 2,165 $ 1,728 $ 5,846 $ 5,478 Produced content 2,404 3,661 8,624 12,229 Total $ 4,569 $ 5,389 $ 14,470 $ 17,707 ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES Accrued expenses and other liabilities consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 : (in thousands) September 30, December 31, Accrued payroll and benefits 1,396 1,254 Dividends payable 1,387 — Sales & income tax liabilities 947 1,095 Other 1,143 1,356 Total $ 4,873 $ 3,705 WARRANT LIABILITY As described in Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity , the Private Placement Warrants are classified as a non-current liability and reported at fair value at each reporting period.

DEFERRED REVENUE Contract liabilities ( i.e. , deferred revenue) consist of subscriber and affiliate license fees billed that have not been recognized, amounts contractually billed or collected for content licensing sales in advance of the related content being made available to the customer, and unredeemed gift cards and other prepaid subscriptions that have not been redeemed. Total deferred revenues were $11.8 million and $15.2 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The non-current portions of $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. TRADE AND BARTER TRANSACTIONS In the second quarter of 2023, the Company began entering into trade and barter transactions primarily for the purpose of exchanging content assets through licensing agreements with media counterparties. Certain transactions may also include the exchange of advertising, whereby the Company and its counterparty exchange media campaigns or other promotional services. For content acquired through trade and barter transactions, the Company records the acquired assets in the consolidated balance sheet and amortizes those assets over the term of the content license, in accordance with the Company’s content and amortization policies. For other products and services received through trade and barter transactions, the Company records operating expenses upon receipt of such products and services, as applicable. The transaction price for these contracts is measured at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable; in which case, the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the services provided. For an exchange of content, the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the content is made available for the counterparty to use, which represents the point in time that control is transferred. For advertising, the performance obligation is satisfied upon the Company’s delivery of the media campaign or other service to the counterparty.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY COMMON STOCK As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had authorized the issuance of 126,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, consisting of (a) 125,000,000 shares of common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. TREASURY STOCK On June 10, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $4 million of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased 195,190 shares of its common stock at an average price of $1.12 pe r share. The total cost of the repurchase was $0.2 million , whic h has been recorded as treasury stock in the equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. WARRANTS As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 3,054,203 publicly traded warrants outstanding that were sold as part of the units of SAQN in its initial public offering on November 22, 2019, and that were issued to the PIPE Investors in connection with the Business Combination on October 14, 2020 (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the "Warrants") and 3,676,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. The Private Placement Warrants are liability-classified, and the Public Warrants are equity-classified. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. All Warrants expire on October 14, 2025. The Company has the right to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock matched or exceeded $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants except that, so long as they are held by Software Acquisition Holdings LLC or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company; (ii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) they are subject to registration rights. There were no exercises of warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The warrant liability related to the Private Placement Warrants is recorded at fair value as of each reporting date with the change in fair value reported within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations as “Change in fair value of warrant liability” until the warrants are exercised, expired or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit). The fair value of the warrant liability for the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model using Level 3 inputs. The significant assumptions used in preparing the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine fair value a s of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we re as follows: September 30, December 31, Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Stock price (CURI) $ 1.91 $ 0.54 Expected volatility 86.40 % 100.00 % Expected warrant term (years) 1.0 1.8 Risk-free interest rate 3.94 % 4.23 % Dividend yield 1.3 % 0 % Fair Value per Private Placement Warrant $ 0.03 $ 0.01

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method for stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the average fair value of the Company’s Common Stock for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise price of the options. Purchases of treasury stock reduce the outstanding shares commencing on the date that the stock is purchased. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation when a loss is incurred as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the components of basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows: (in thousands except per share amounts) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator — basic and diluted EPS: Net loss $ (3,062) $ (26,565) $ (10,128) $ (44,237) Denominator — basic and diluted EPS: Weighted–average shares 54,850 53,040 53,920 52,999 Net loss per share — basic and diluted $ (0.06) $ (0.50) $ (0.19) $ (0.83) Common shares issuable for warrants, options, and restricted stock units (“RSU”) represent the total amount of outstanding warrants, stock options, and restricted stock units at September 30, 2024, and 2023. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the following share equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	Sep. 30, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide the service. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. In October 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the CuriosityStream 2020 Omnibus Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination and succeeds the Legacy CuriosityStream Stock Option Plan. Upon adoption of the 2020 Plan, a total of 7,725,000 shares were approved to be issued as stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The following table summarizes stock option and RSU activity, prices, and values for the nine months ended September 30, 2024: Number of Shares Available for Issuance Under the Plan Stock Options Restricted Stock Units (in thousands except share price and fair value amounts) Number of Shares Weighted- Number of Shares Weighted- Balance at December 31, 2023 4,762 32 $ 5.79 2,058 $ 2.57 Granted (4,024) — — 4,024 — RSUs vested 655 — — (3,038) 0.39 Forfeited or expired 185 (6) 7.15 (180) 1.06 Balance at September 30, 2024 1,578 26 $ 5.00 2,864 $ 1.64 There were no options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023. Stock options and RSU awards generally vest on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis over a period of one four years from the grant date. When options are exercised, the Company issues previously unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy share option exercises. Upon vesting and distribution of RSUs, the Company issues previously unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy RSUs vested, net of shares withheld for taxes if elected by the RSU holder. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes a number of assumptions including the Company’s estimates of stock price volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors, future dividend payments, and risk-free interest rates. The expected term of options granted is the estimated period of time from the beginning of the vesting period to the date of expected exercise or other settlement, based on historical exercises and post-vesting terminations. The Company generally estimates expected term based on the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term, also known as the simplified method, given the lack of historical exercise behavior. On April 28, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized, and on June 14, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved, a stock option exchange program (the “Exchange”) that permitted certain current employees and executive officers to exchange certain outstanding stock options with exercise prices substantially above the current market price of the Company’s Common Stock for RSUs of an equivalent fair value. The Exchange was completed in July 2023. For options that had already vested at the time of the Exchange, the resulting RSUs vested in July 2024. Otherwise, the vesting schedules for unvested options at the time of the Exchange remained the same for the resulting RSUs. As a result of the Exchange, 4.6 million of outstanding eligible stock options were exchanged for 1.6 million new RSUs, with a fair value of $0.99 per share on the date of the Exchange. There was no incremental compensation expense recorded by the Company as a result of the Exchange. The Company uses its own historical volatility as well as the historical volatility of similar public companies for estimating volatility. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities that approximate the expected term of the option. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, stock-based compensation expense was as follows: (in thousands) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2024 2023 2024 2023 Stock-based compensation — Options $ — $ 5 $ 6 $ 1,553 Stock-based compensation — RSUs $ 2,720 $ 892 $ 4,728 $ 2,033 Total stock-based compensation $ 2,720 $ 897 $ 4,734 $ 3,586

LEASES	Sep. 30, 2024
Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES COMPANY AS LESSEE The Company is a party to a non-cancellable operating lease agreement for office space, which expires in 2033. The Company’s operating lease for this office space includes fixed rent payments and variable lease payments, which are primarily related to common area maintenance and utility charges. The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components, and as such, all amounts paid under the lease are classified as either fixed or variable lease payments. The Company has determined that no renewal clauses are reasonably certain of being exercised and therefore has not included any renewal periods within the lease term for this lease. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held operating lease ROU assets of $3.1 million. Current lease liabilities were $0.4 million, and are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Non-current lease liabilities were $4.0 million.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUM_2

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates	USE OF ESTIMATES
Concentration of Risk	Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits. Investments in debt securities are held with reputable institutions and are monitored to manage credit risk exposure.
Investments in Debt Securities	Investments in Debt Securities The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity “"HTM” under ASC “Accounting Standards Codification” 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.” HTM investments represent securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and they are reported at amortized cost. Investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Investments with longer maturities are classified as short-term or long-term investments based on the remaining maturity at each balance sheet date and the Company’s intent to hold the security. Interest income earned from HTM investments is recognized in the income statement as “Interest and other Income” under non-operating income.
Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The applicable accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 : Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification at each reporting period. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis have included its investments in money market funds, U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, municipal debt securities and certificates of deposit. Level 1 inputs were derived by using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and were used to value the Company’s investments in money market funds, U.S. government debt securities and certificate of deposit. Level 2 inputs were derived using prices for similar investments and were used to value the Company’s investments in corporate and municipal debt securities. The Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its private pla cement warrants issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the Company’s former sponsor, in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”). The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is considered a Level 3 valuation and is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Refer to Note 6 - Stockholders' Equity for significant assumptions which the Company used in the fair value model for the Private Placement Warrants. Ce rtain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, e.g., when there is evidence of impairment indicators.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company, as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
