Thematic
I think you guys pretty much nailed it. We are still in beta and have not gone to market yet. Our platform takes advantage of 2-sided network effects which in our case is the value exchange between our two user groups (creators and music artists). We made it free in beta so that we can see how the community is interacting with this value system. By doing this we have created a ton of data exhaust which we will structure into features that we will build and eventually charge for. Our co-founder Michelle Phan is a content creator herself and has made it her mission to support creators and artists. As a part of that mission we will always keep the a good portion of the platform free. We will be rolling out a freemium to premium pricing model towards the end of the year. I can't go into too much detail here as we are still conducting user interviews and cohort analysis to understand what our users want us to build and what they will be willing to pay for these features. I can tell you that these features will be focussed on advanced analytics and targeting for music artists as well as curation (music supervision for your videos) for content creators.I hope that this makes sense but Im happy to jump on a call and discuss. Thanks again for all of your support and look forward to having your feedback. All the best, -Marc

Could new music festival put Ipswich on the map?
Sound City Ipswich will feature 21 bands performing across three venues, with the aim of uniting the town behind the cause.
The festival, which will coincide with a music conference, is set to take place across Ipswich on October 4 in a bid to encourage touring bands to visit the town.
During the day a conference featuring artists, venues, promoters and industry figures will showcase Ipswich as a viable location for touring artists to play.
There will then be evening gigs at the Corn Exchange, Manor Ballroom and The Smokehouse featuring local and touring bands.
Other activities such as coffee shop acoustic gigs, DJ sets, workshops and a free BBC Introducing gig are also being lined up.
Joe Bailey, Smokehouse owner and event organiser, said: "We're really excited to partner with Liverpool Sound City to bring a multi-venue festival to our home town of Ipswich.
"We hope the festival will attract larger numbers of visitors to the town and prove the need for investment in the area's music infrastructure, leading towards the creation of more live music venues, increased engagement in live music and for Ipswich to culturally thrive; whilst supporting the development of bands and artists in the eastern region."
TIKTOK OWNER BYTEDANCE BUYS AI MUSIC COMPANY JUKEDECK
What could a global digital platform want with music generated by artificial intelligence?
That question has been on the lips of the music industry ever since Spotify hired one of the world’s leading experts in the field, François Pachet, in summer 2017.
Warner Music Group inked a distribution deal with stress-reducing sound app, Endel – which, it was claimed, was the first-ever algorithm to sign a deal with a major label.
User-video platform TikTok is becoming a very well-known quantity to the music industry, having helped break artists and tracks like Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road.
Its parent Bytedance, which is heavily rumored to be creating a Spotify-rivalling audio streaming service, announced last month that it now reaches more than a billion monthly active users via TikTok and other services globally.
Tiktok itself hit one billion global app downloads in February, according to global market monitor Sensor Tower, with nearly 100m in the USA and 250m in India.
July 23), we learn that Bytedance has acquired Jukedeck, a UK-based AI Music startup which has raised $2.5m to date from investors
Guess what Jukedeck specializes in? Yep: creating royalty-free music for user-generated online videos.
Jukedeck’s own website is now offline, aside from a homepage (pictured) displaying a message that reads: “We can’t tell you more just yet, but we’re looking forward to continuing to fuel creativity using musical AI!”
