# Idea for an music investment platform

## Open questions or thoughts:

* Should the music created by the investment, prevented to be published on other platforms?
* 

## Problem:
Talented musicians have a long way, till they get a record deal or can finance their life with their music. Additionally it seems like these labels sometimes misuse their power and take a lot of the income.

## Solution:
We want to build an tokenized ecosystem, where regular people can fund their favorite talents or genres, which gives them the opportunity to earn returns from their funded art. The earned money should have a better distribution between artist and "label", where the "label" is a pool of liquidity providers. The platform should also offer the created music through NFT access, to be able to distribute the earnings.

Another opportunity for the future is to fund a whole production environment, owned by LP's. Where the LP's can decide through governance about hiring producers, which artists they want to record and so on.

The platform itself should exist in form of a DAO, to make decisions about fees and other structural conditions. This should enable earnings for further developments.

## Milestones

1. Investment Pools for genres(artist applications & governance process), music distribution, producer reputations
3. Artists can create Pools with proposals
4. Investement Pools for production environments

## Discovery Phase, Milestone 1

To give this thing a name, the platform is provisionally called **Music&Me**.
To simplify the notation in the following, the name is abbreviated as **M&M**.
