Creative platform EVEN closed a $2.2M seed round led by CSA Partners.
The platform allows musical artists to sell their music directly to consumers.
The platform is for artists who want to grow their fanbases before they release music. They can sell exclusive content and experiences on EVEN before releasing music to the masses.
- Mag Rodriguez, the company's founder and CEO, stated that he built the platform to help black and brown artists retain equity in their work.
- EVEN will also work to address other pitfalls of the music industry, such as artists being compensated or credited properly and letting them connect with fans easily.
- This, in turn, will help limit third-party fees from reseller platforms that fans typically have to incur.
- EVEN hopes to launch later this year with more than 600 artists.
- Other investors in the seed round include gANGELS, gener8tor and angel investors Daniel Rotman, Adie Akuffo-Afful, and Ogo.
