Company Description
Duetti, founded in 2022, is on a mission to revolutionize the financial landscape for independent music artists. Our innovative model provides immediate cash flow options, enabling artists to monetize their master catalogs, individual tracks, or parts thereof—a unique opportunity that was once exclusive to a select group of A-list artists.
We employ a highly scalable data-centered approach to catalog pricing and management, utilizing cutting-edge prediction and risk assessment methodologies alongside innovative optimization tactics.
Founded by Lior Tibon, former COO of TIDAL, and Christopher Nolte, former Business Development executive at Apple Music, Duetti publicly launched in May 2023 and now has over $120 million in funding from Nyca, Northleaf, Viola Ventures, Viola Credit, Roc Nation, and other top VCs. Duetti has already funded hundreds of independent artists, with deals reaching up to $2M per artist.
With offices in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami, Duetti offers a competitive benefits package, including healthcare coverage, flexible paid time off, and a hybrid work model.
Join us on this transformative journey as we reshape the financial landscape for artists. Duetti provides an inspiring and familial yet ambitious work environment, where your expertise and creativity will contribute to reshaping the future of artist monetization and make an immediate tangible impact on artists’ lives.
