The anti-music startup sentiment has been picking up steam lately. Its hard to argue against it being a difficult space to be in, but are we really ready to just turn our backs on innovation all together? Music needs startups--more now than ever before. 1000s may fail (and probably already have!) but just one needs to hit it big in this space for us all to be better off.
When everyone else is saying "run away", its the brave(/stupid) who keep pushing forward that win in the end.
- pg 16y agoI think the secret to innovation in this domain is to find ways around the labels. We're happy to fund music startups that don't directly touch label music, e.g. Songkick (which focuses on concerts) and thesixtyone (which focuses on indy music).
