Partner Content: How Duetti is Revolutionizing Music Financing and Rights Management
In the ever-changing landscape of the music industry, one company is making waves with its innovative approach to music financing and rights management. Duetti, a music financing platform, is reshaping the way music rights are managed and monetized. To learn more about this groundbreaking company, I sat down with Lior Tibon, CEO and cofounder of Duetti, in an exclusive interview with Billboard’s senior finance correspondent, Elizabeth Dilts Marshall.
As we settled into our conversation, Tibon shared the inspiration behind Duetti’s creation. “We saw a gap in the market for a platform that could provide financing for music rights holders, such as artists, labels, and publishers,” he explained. “Many of these rights holders struggle to access the capital they need to grow their careers or businesses. We wanted to create a solution that would not only provide financing but also help these rights holders better manage and monetize their music rights.”
Duetti’s platform offers a unique approach to music financing, using a combination of technology and data analysis to assess the value of music rights and provide financing options. “We use a proprietary algorithm to evaluate the potential future earnings of a music catalog,” Tibon shared. “This allows us to offer financing at a lower cost than traditional lenders, who often rely on personal credit scores and collateral. We also offer flexible repayment options, so rights holders can choose what works best for them.”
But Duetti’s impact goes beyond just providing financing. The platform also offers tools for music rights management, including tracking and reporting of royalties, as well as access to a network of industry professionals for guidance and support. “We want to empower rights holders to take control of their music rights and make informed decisions about their careers and businesses,” Tibon emphasized.
Marshall then asked about the challenges Duetti has faced in the music industry. Tibon acknowledged that there is still a lack of understanding and awareness about music financing and rights management, especially among independent artists and smaller labels. “We are working to educate the market and build trust with our clients,” he said. “We want to show them that we are a partner, not just a lender, and that we are invested in their success.”
Despite these challenges, Duetti has already seen significant success, with over $100 million in financing provided to music rights holders in just two years. “We are proud to have helped so many artists and labels achieve their goals and grow their careers,” Tibon shared. “And we are just getting started.”
As our conversation drew to a close, Marshall asked about the future of music financing and rights management. Tibon expressed his excitement for the potential of technology to continue driving innovation in the industry. “We are constantly looking for ways to improve our platform and provide even more value to our clients,” he said. “We believe that technology will play a crucial role in shaping the future of music financing and rights management.”
In conclusion, Duetti is a game-changer in the music industry, offering a much-needed solution for financing and managing music rights. With its unique approach and commitment to empowering rights holders, Duetti is reshaping the way music rights are valued and monetized. As Tibon aptly put it, “We are not just changing the game, we are creating a new one.”
