About beatBread
The Concept
beatBread is a technology driven platform that enables funding for artists, labels, composers, and other key music industry participants. Creators always have the option to retain long-run ownership of their Music when they seek funding from beatBread, and receive transparent, flexible funding options. Instead of listening to each artist's Music and guessing whether they will grow or not, we feed streaming and fan-engagement data to an optimized machine-learning model to predict artist growth and revenue. We use these predictions to invest in artists, and, also, to empower music companies, institutions, and high net worth individuals to make their own investments in artists. Investors include leading venture capital firms, including Deciens Capital, Mucker Capital and Afore Capital, along with several progressive and innovative music companies.
Why Artists Love What We Do
Artist’s love beatBread because they can fund their careers without giving up ownership of their Music or the choice of their partners. beatBread's approach also enables us to fund creative people and organizations from those that are "chart toppers" to those who are too small or too "off center" for traditional labels to back.
Because we don't tell artists which marketing, distribution, or creative partners they need to work with, even large, chart-topping artists often find the options we provide more attractive than traditional funding options.
Company Growth
Since funding our first artist two years ago, we are now funding more than a deal per day and putting seven figures of advance dollars out in the market each month. Prominent artist service companies have chosen to integrate our platform directly into their products, with major streaming platforms and distributors showing keen interest in partnership. We have also recently announced a $100M artist funding facility, but will be engaging additional funding sources, including institutional investors and banks, in 2023.
Our Team and Culture
beatBread is a lucky combination of music business executives with decades of experience, startup folks who love music, data scientists who live to dig into billions of data points, and software developers born to build cool stuff. We are all unified by a mission to help more musicians stay independent and keep control of their work and their careers, and a vision to become the largest source of funding in the global music industry.
Culturally, we are curious, hardworking, and informal. As a matter of both pragmatism and personal values, we do our best to approach our work and our partners with more humility than many fast growing venture-backed companies, or many entertainment professionals who put image and status ahead of impact and value.
