Our take

Kobalt manages the reporting and collection of digital music royalties for over 30,000 songwriters, 700,000 songs, and 500 publishing companies worldwide including Roddy Ricch, FINNEAS, Stevie Nicks, and Paul McCartney.

It's aiming to increase trust between the music and technology industries in order to build a new infrastructure that benefits fans, creators, rights owners and DSPs.

The transition from purchasing to streaming in the music world has added complexity to how royalties are distributed and collected while also increasing the size of the music industry in terms of the revenue it generates. Kobalt benefits from both of those trends.
