OUR VISION
the TURNING POINT
We are probably in front of a turning point in the music industry. After a lost decade of negative growth, the business has been enjoying a decisive rebound in recent years – the main drivers being the digital and streaming channels.
Politics
There is a clear political willingness to address the value gap and integrate the EU Digital Market.
Streaming
Technology allows tracking and monetisation of online music consumption.
Growth
Revenues are growing again after 15 years of negative growth.
an inefficient market today
ANote innovates the traditional business model by tackling its inefficiencies.
The creation of a liquid, transparent and integrated market for music rights will unlock financing for new projects and help artists become financially independent.
A Closed Market
Royalty contracts are generally privately traded between private players (Record Labels/Distributors, Managers, Artists).
Asymmetric
Usually, the creation and trade of a royalty contract takes place only when the album/song is created. Plus, only pennies of the dollar reach the artist pockets.
Centralized
Record Labels are investing the most in A&R (16.9% of revenues on average in 2016).
market interest for music royalties
We have identified a growing interest towards investing in the music industry.
We are probably in front of a radical business model change, and many big players are increasingly eager to have a slice of it.
Uncorrelated investments
Music royalties are uncorrelated from traditional financial instruments.
A growing
market
Collecting agencies around the world are reporting steadily increasing amounts of royalties collected.
Technological
developments
Technology allows a better tracking of music consumption.
