Why We Invested in Duetti
Music catalogs have drawn considerable interest from institutional investors as an emerging asset class that is both uncorrelated to the macroenvironment and generates stable cash yield. ?An active market has emerged, allowing well-known artists (or their estates) to partner with large asset managers to monetize their prized catalogues.?On the other hand, independent and lesser-known artists have largely remained on the sidelines, without a mechanism to monetize their current and future IP and achieve career and financial aspirations. Other financing alternatives are fraught with potential pitfalls -- record labels remain both highly selective and can often exercise significant control over an artist’s creative process and career.?
Enter Duetti. Duetti is a data-driven technology platform that provides access to catalog monetization for artists at all stages of their careers and helps them reach the next step of their journey, with a keen focus on independent and mid-market artists. Duetti utilizes a?scalable data-centric approach to analyze consumption patterns and decay curves and hone in on the potential of a given track to generate reliable financial returns.?
The inspiration for Duetti became apparent to Lior during his time at TIDAL. ?After studying the process for high-profile IP acquisitions, Lior realized that forecasting the success of independent artists was substantially similar -- these independent artists boasted millions of annual streams and hundreds of thousands of unique listeners and outcomes could accordingly be predicted through statistical analysis and curve modeling. In addition to its cutting-edge modeling capabilities, Duetti has developed a robust post-acquisition track optimization platform, which is a crucially underutilized element within the industry. This process, facilitated by data-driven management, involves strategically positioning Duetti tracks in promoted playlists and utilizing social media channels for enhanced visibility.?
