Company Update — App Store Submissions, Business Affairs and Nashville
August has seen a number of high-level business developments and major progress on our upcoming mobile applications. Along with building out our Business Affairs capacity, we’ve been focused this month on scheduling a steady release of ISOs after the app is released, and actioning feedback received on the current Vezt beta.
We’re excited to announce the addition of Dale Melidosian to the team as our Head of Business Affairs. Dale has worked as in-house General Counsel for over 20 years with music publishing companies such as Famous, Wixen and Bug Music, in addition to giants like 20th Century Fox. Her deep understanding of the music business on a global level, including the challenges of licensing rights throughout the world in the current digital landscape, is a vital addition to the growth and longevity of the company. Her experience will support our international expansion, overseeing our deal structures, public-facing content and more.

Nashville Music Conference
The latest panel in our Blockchain Music Conference was hosted at the WeWork in Nashville on August 29th from 6–9pm. Members of the Vezt team met with executives at Atlantic Records, McGhee Entertainment, Vector Management, as well as a number of artist managers and attorneys prior to and after the conference while giving local artists and industry members a closer look at the current build of the app.
Vezt Beta Status
Our Engineering team is currently actioning feedback received during the private beta, and is prepping for the the early release of the Vezt iOS application on the Apple App Store. As they continue to refine the launch iteration of the platform, we expect to also release the Vezt mobile application for Android devices. Pending additional feedback, the iOS release will shortly follow our upcoming release on Android.
