Corite

mission & key concepts

Corite is a music tech startup. Corite is the first platform that truly enables fans to invest in artists and be a part of the creative journey from inception to delivery.

It works by letting fans invest in music and get a share of streaming profits, becoming an integral part of the journey from product creation to implementation.

how it works & current challenges

The essence of the Corite business model is as follows: thanks to the financial support of fans, artists can independently build their careers and earn money from their own work. Fans can even get involved in the creative process and promote their favorite music. Meanwhile, artists can fund and release their music through dedicated fandom. This scheme works due to the strong connection between artists and fans.

The CO project is a decentralized platform based on Corite’s proven model for independent artists and fans to co-create, fund and promote music. Using fan power, artists can engage and reward their fans in every aspect of their career and share success together.

The current focus is on expanding their audiences, attracting a talented team and creating a democratic working environment for artists.
