Heading to SXSW? BPI's newly launched Insight & Innovation department is taking over UK House on 11 March, including a keynote from CEO Dr Jo Twist OBE (she/her) and three panels: 1) Investing in Innovation: Music and Beyond 2) Why Music? The benefits of developing a music vertical for your startup 3) Picking The Right Problems: Solutions at Scale

Guess what music tech investments are most popular with investors last year and in 2024: fandom... marketing.... AI... Web3... live events? Which categories brought the biggest investments? I spent my flight to SXSW doing some analysis and I will present it during this panel with Dr Jo Twist OBE (she/her), Xavier Péters, and Tracy Maddux over at UK House. I scan the music industry news and for the last year and a half I made note of every investment reported. What are your guesses? How is 2024 shaping up differently than 2023?

We’re thrilled to announce that MatchTune CEO Philippe GUILLAUD will be a featured panelist at the MaMA Conference in Paris next Thursday. The panel, titled 'Growth or Profitability: How to Build a Successful Music Start-up?', will dive into a crucial topic for today’s music-tech landscape: how can new businesses thrive in the fast-evolving digital music world? Key topics will include: 🔹What are the essential factors for long-term success in the music start-up space? 🔹Is it better to prioritize growth at the expense of profitability, or take a steady, financially sustainable path? 📲 Read more about the panel: https://lnkd.in/e4TPYSVu A big thank you to MaMA Music & Convention for inviting us to be part of this conversation.

Concord's acquisition of Hipgnosis, with an offer of $1.16 per share, is seen as a strategic move to integrate Hipgnosis' catalogs into Concord's extensive portfolio, aiming to benefit artists and stakeholders. The offer represents a 32% premium over Hipgnosis' recent share price, which had declined by almost 28% from its peak in November 2021 due to challenges such as rising interest rates. Additionally, Hipgnosis faced scrutiny over its business practices, including overpayment for catalogs and overstating ownership stakes. The relationship between Hipgnosis Songs Fund and Hipgnosis Song Management, with the latter being the investment adviser, added complexity to the company's structure and operations. The acquisition by Concord is viewed as an opportunity for Hipgnosis shareholders to realize a premium on their holdings amid uncertainties in the company's financial performance. #HipgnosisSongsFund #ConcordMusic #musiccatalogs
