The Loop

Investment that feeds itself

Your investment makes the artist more successful. Their success pays you back. This flywheel does not exist anywhere else.

01

You invest

Back an emerging artist's project. Get shares of their royalty stream. The artist keeps their masters.

02

They create

Your investment funds recording, touring, and production. Investors who own shares stream the music - moving the algorithm.

03

You earn

Streaming royalties flow back quarterly. When the artist pops, your share price climbs. You can trade after month 12.

Returns compound into the next artist

The unfair advantage

Built at the most music-connected HBCU in the country.

Howard University's alumni include some of the most powerful names in the music industry. Our artist pipeline starts in the Yard - where talent is real, and the network is the product.

The artists Beatbread cannot underwrite (no streaming history yet, but a real audience on TikTok and Discord) are the artists Howard produces. That is our supply advantage.

Early believers

What the first cohort is saying

I put $200 into Jules Mariano three months ago. His share price is up 40%. But more importantly I stream every drop and I tell everyone. That is not how I use Spotify normally.

I turned down a label offer because the deal was terrible. Artist Exchange is building the thing that should have always existed: a way for my actual fans to fund my music without me giving up my masters.

The leaderboard is addictive. I check it like a stock app. Except I actually care about every artist on it because I know their music. Nothing else feels like this.
