Do managers in the music space need more protection 👀? : I’ve always viewed early stage music manager like early stage investors. The fact that most managers have zero ownership in the upside of an artist they help to build is insane #musicindustry #musicmanager #startup #earlystage

Here's to the tech people who decide to invest in musicals. <3 "I sort of woke up in my mid-20s as a tech guy, but that was never really the plan." - Hunter Arnold The plan had been to work in theater. Hunter's I want moment was realizing he wanted to get back into that world. So Hunter went to New York, and he put his money into stage productions. "I would say to these people, I'll give you 25 grand, but I have to be able to sit in everything and see how it works." Now, Hunter knew the tech playbook for investing in Silicon Valley startups. Entrepreneurs who need money go to venture capitalists. And these VCs cut checks, make bets on various companies, and then hope these companies grow as fast as possible. And Hunter's insight was that theater is not that different from the Silicon Valley tech scene. So in Broadway, investors put up the upfront costs of mounting a production. Only one out of five Broadway shows actually recoups their upfront costs, so there is a lot of pressure to find a hit. "The industry fully functions like venture capital. If you fail, it just goes - (imitating draining noise) - to zero." But there's one key difference that Hunter found between the worlds of theater and venture capital, and that is in the scaling up part of the process. With tech, companies grow at this breakneck pace until they go public or they get acquired by a bigger company. In theater, it seems like the move would be to start small in some tiny, far-flung theater, then scale up to Broadway. But Hunter says, scaling up a show, that's a process that can kick off after the Broadway run. And one important way that scale happens is by taking the show on the road, literally through a touring production. https://lnkd.in/gbhhhSJu
