Matter

Empowering Creators

Problem

  • Of $43 billion dollars of music revenue, under 12% goes to content creators
  • Infrequent royalty payments lead creators to rely on alternate sources of income
  • Platform's do not offer artists opportunities to interact with fans and make money from their interactions

 

Independent artists need effective distribution

Enter:

Matter

We protect artists' interests and enable them to take home 75% of the revenue their content makes.

Content creators need a platform that meets THEIR needs

Empowering Independants

Matter is focused on an underserved market segment that is on pace to lead sector revenue in the next 5 years

By providing the most effective software to creators at early stages, we grow with them as a platform and are able to capture value across the lifetime and career of every creator.
