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.

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 months ended March 31, 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, cash equivalents, and investments with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits. Accounts receivable, net are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from customers primarily located in the United States. 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 and corporate debt securities (at December 31, 2022). 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 and U.S. government debt securities. 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 placement 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 March 31, 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 (1,519) (237) (1,756) Balance at March 31, 2024 $ 217 $ 4,381 $ 4,598 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 March 31, 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 is 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 Venture during July 2023. 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 (“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 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 (“Put Option”) at a value based on a determinable calculation outlined in the SPA. The Put Option is only exercisable upon the achievement of certain defined conditions, as outlined in the SPA, and is initially exercisable only during the period that is the later of (i) 60 business days In the event the Call Option or Put Option is not exercised, both options will continue to be available to each respective party in the following year through perpetuity, with its exercise limited to the same date range as outlined above. The Put Option is not currently considered to be probable of becoming exercisable based on the defined conditions in the SPA. 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 100% 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, providing the Company with significant influence, but not a controlling interest. Since the time of its original investment, the Company has been obligated to purchase additional incremental ownership interests, each for a payment of $0.8 million and representing 1.625% of equity ownership, if Nebula meets certain quarterly targets. The Company has made three subsequent incremental purchases, bringing its total ownership interest in Nebula to 16.875% as of March 31, 2024. The Company did not make further investments in Nebula during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the obligation to make additional purchases ended as of September 30, 2023. The Company has not received dividends from Nebula as of March 31, 2024. Since August 2021, the Company has 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 has 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 (the “Nebula Non-Renewal”), which resulted in the expiration of the revenue share at the end of 2023. Nebula is still required to make its service available to subscribers to either of these offerings through the end of the term of any such subscription that exists as of December 31, 2023.

BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS	BALANCE SHEET COMPONENTS CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, RESTRICTED CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS A reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows: (In thousands) March 31, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 38,750 $ 37,715 Restricted cash 1 125 500 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 38,875 $ 38,215 1 Restricted cash included cash deposits required by a bank as collateral related to corporate credit card agreements. To determine the fair value of its investments in money market funds securities, the Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the fair values of the Company’s securities investments was as follows: (In thousands) Cash and Cash Equivalents March 31, December 31, 2023 Level 1 securities: Money market funds $ 36,544 $ 36,072 Total Level 1 securities $ 36,544 $ 36,072 The Company recorded no material realized gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. CONTENT ASSETS Content assets consisted of the following as of the dates indicated: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, Licensed content, net: Released, less amortization and impairment 1 $ 10,221 $ 8,271 Prepaid and unreleased 4,966 8,357 Total Licensed content, net 15,187 16,628 Produced content, net: Released, less amortization and impairment 2 23,425 22,880 In production 1,542 5,435 Total produced content, net 24,967 28,315 Total content assets $ 40,154 $ 44,943 Of the $10.2 million unamortized cost of licensed content that had been released as of March 31, 2024, the Company expects that $4.7 million, $3.1 million and $1.4 million will be amortized in each of the next three years. Of the $23.4 million unamortized cost of produced content that had been released as of March 31, 2024, the Company expects that $8.6 million, $6.4 million and $5.1 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 months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, content amortization was as follows: Three Months Ended (in thousands) 2024 2023 Licensed content $ 1,698 $ 1,945 Produced content 3,517 3,907 Total $ 5,215 $ 5,852 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. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, t he fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, as determined using Level 3 inputs, was as follows: (in thousands) March 31, December 31, Private Placement Warrants $ 74 $ 44

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY	STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY COMMON STOCK As of March 31, 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. WARRANTS As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 3,054,203 publicly traded warrants outstanding that were sold as part of the units of Software Acquisition Group Inc. 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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we re as follows: March 31, December 31, Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Stock price (CURI) $ 1.07 $ 0.54 Expected volatility 90.00 % 100.00 % Expected warrant term (years) 1.5 1.8 Risk-free interest rate 4.81 % 4.23 % Dividend yield 2.3 % 0 % Fair Value per Private Placement Warrant $ 0.02 $ 0.01 The change in fair value of the private placement warrant liability was negligible for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 months ended March 31, 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 2024 2023 Numerator — Basic and Diluted EPS: Net loss $ (5,035) $ (7,751) Denominator — Basic and Diluted EPS: Weighted–average shares 53,301 52,950 Net loss per share — Basic and Diluted $ (0.09) $ (0.15) 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 March 31, 2024, and 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 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 (469) — — 469 0.54 RSUs vested 12 — — (31) 12.98 Forfeited or expired 20 (2) 5.88 (18) 10.61 Balance at March 31, 2024 4,325 31 $ 5.30 2,478 $ 1.95 There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31 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 restricted stock units 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 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 will vest in July 2024. Otherwise, the vesting schedules for unvested options at the time of the Exchange will remain 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 to the expected term of the option.. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, stock-based compensation expense was as follows: (stock-based compensation in thousands) Three Months Ended 2024 2023 Stock-based compensation — Options $ 5 $ 777 Stock-based compensation — RSUs $ 684 $ 490 Total stock-based compensation $ 689 $ 1,267

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 March 31, 2024, the Company held operating lease ROU assets of $3.3 million, current lease liabilities of $0.4 million, included within accr ued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets , and non-current lease liabilities of $4.2 million. In measuring operating lease liabilities, the Company used a weighted average discount rate of 4.4% in existence as of the January 1, 2022, ASU 2016-02 adoption date. The weighted average remaining lease term as of March 31, 2024, was 8.92 years.

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, cash equivalents, and investments with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with the financial institutions may exceed the applicable FDIC-insured limits.
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 and corporate debt securities (at December 31, 2022). 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 and U.S. government debt securities. 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 placement 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.
