ABOUT THIS PANEL
Institutional capital is increasingly looking beyond blockbuster catalogs toward the independent music ecosystem, bringing new sources of funding — and new questions about ownership, valuation and who ultimately benefits.
Duetti co-founder and CEO Lior Tibon joins us for a timely conversation about what’s driving investor interest in independent music and what it means for artists and other rights holders. Drawing on his experience across music, technology and investment, Lior will explore how new approaches to capital can provide independent creators with greater flexibility and choice, how the market is evolving as more money enters the space, and where opportunity — and potential tension — may lie ahead.
A candid look at the changing relationship between capital and independents, and what it could mean for the next generation of music businesses and creators.
