I’m starting a new company with @3LAU, my best friend since college
We’re making it possible for artists to share ownership in their music directly with fans and earn royalties alongside each other, sidestepping traditional middlemen
It’s called Royal — http://royal.io/r/jd
I’m excited to announce today that Royal raised a $16M seed round co-led by @rabois at Founders Fund and @FEhrsam at Paradigm, was well as Atomic and an incredible collection of angel investors - we’re grateful for the support and pumped
Real story - yesterday around lunch our head of product @derekkohn looked at our homepage and felt it was off somehow.
By 4PM he whipped up a new landing page design, completely different from before.
The team loved it, so that’s what we built until 12:30am last night🤷♂️
