Digital Era gives labels, managers, and investors a verified, transparent view of every artist's creative history, and a new way to stake on their future.
The better you help them grow, the better your return.
the problem
The current model pays you regardless of whether the artist succeeds.
That sounds good. It isn't.
If your return does not depend on the artist's success, your incentive to invest in that success is optional. The industry has lived with that misalignment for decades.
Digital Era changes the structure. Stakes in a creator's future earnings mean your return grows when theirs does. The better you develop, promote, and support... The better you earn. Aligned incentives, enforced by infrastructure for the first time.
what digital era does for you
verified track records
We all know commitment is key in this industry. A space dedicated for artist discovery, whether that's individually or even collaboratively.A place that can proudly share what they've worked on, who they've collaborated with or even how many others success have could they have been attributed to.
No more backing on
gut feel alone.
early stakes, compounding returns
Have the chance to take a stake on an artist's future earnings before they break.The earlier you back a person or piece of work, the lower the price of the share, and the greater return from their success.Early belief has always been valuable. Now it is financially structured so every party can financially gain without taking another's earnt value.
Risk and reward,
properly connected.
the creator keeps everything
The creator retains their ownership and creative licencing of their work. Allowing the creators to be acknowledged in their entirety, and contributors getting back the value that they deserve.Having direct returns tied to success of an artist or their work, creates a space for true greatness and opportunities for collaboration.
Better for creators.
Better for the industry.
