Our take
Artist Growth was founded to help content creators and the music industry at large manage tasks like workflow, touring, and client relations. The company went on to expand its management platform to additionally offer financing to touring artists through AG Finance.
Artist Growth, impressively, is already helping managers deal with billions of dollars in tour revenue and expenses. Being the only cloud based solution on the market for labels, managers and creators, Artist Growth has become a leader in this space. Their client base has expanded to serve almost all aspects of the music industry.
Artist Growth received an undisclosed amount of investment from DeepWork Capital, who focus on high growth companies, and are planning on releasing many new product features for labels, managers, and tour managers.
