Discover new startups

Problem

The global music industry generated over $28.6 billion in 2023, yet more than 90% of independent artists earn less than minimum wage from streaming alone. Over 120,000 new tracks are uploaded daily to Spotify, creating extreme discoverability saturation.

Independent artists face:
Algorithm dependency with limited organic reach
Low playlist inclusion probability
High marketing costs with uncertain ROI
Fragmented global exposure opportunities

Meanwhile, listeners struggle with:
Content overload
Low signal-to-noise ratio in new music discovery
Difficulty identifying truly high-quality emerging talent

The result: talent exists globally, but visibility is inefficient, unstructured, and unequal.
