The Ultimate Guide for Music Startup Fundraising
It’s a no-brainer that the music scene changes rapidly, sounds and musicians come and go like the winds of trendification (yes, I made that word up). But what about the technology driving them?
T-Pain’s autotune came and left the production process. Electronic dance music hit the scene hard and created a new cash cow genre. Now AI is making its own endless beautiful music for Google. Even some are saying Blockchain may be the new regulatory body for artists.
A lot has been slow to change in music, but inevitably it will all change. Take the music streaming revenue growth in 2017 indicating that the music industry as a whole is becoming profitable again. Just like streaming, most of the change will be coming from the bottom up, new ideas from entrepreneurs will be created and adopted. So who’s funding these next ideas beyond generalized programs or funds? Let’s take a look.
