Our take
Music distribution services provide ways for musical artists to release their music in both digital and physical formats. However, musicians usually don't retain the often lucrative rights to audio masters and audience insights, and merchandising and concert tickets must be organised elsewhere.
UnitedMasters is a music distribution service that acts as a direct pipeline for musicians and their commercial efforts. The service allows users to retain the rights to audio masters and audience data, in addition to providing a platform for the sale of merchandise and concert tickets. The startup’s aim is to give artists full control over the monetisation of their music based on a regular subscription cost.
UnitedMasters has raised a large amount of funding from investors such as Apple, a16z and Alphabet, and has partnered with companies such as Bose, TikTok, and Twitch. These partnerships along with continued innovation make it possible for artists to access large record deals through their music, a feature not offered by many other music distribution services.

Company benefits
- Health & Well-being: Our health plans provide comprehensive coverage for you and your family. We offer robust medical, dental and vision benefits, with the option to enroll in FSA and HSA to save for the care you need. Plus, you can get free fitness classes through insurance, and healthy snacks at our offices
- Emotional & Mental Well-being: Focus on mental health and well-being has become more important than ever. We offer a spectrum of support for your mental well-being; from Headspace mindfulness and meditation, to free therapy and psychiatry at Talkspace
- Financial Well-being: Every full-time employee is eligible to take part in our 401(k) with company match, and competitive compensation
- Flexibility & Time Off: We believe that flexible time off allows our team members the freedom to balance the responsibilities of both their work and home lives. We also have 15 paid holidays and a paid company winter break. We offer generous paid leave and support for expecting parents and growing families
- Discounts & Perks: We want you to feel your best, both professionally and personally. We’re proud to offer inspiring office spaces with engaging events, commuter benefits, and discounts on the services you want and need
Company values
- We get on the plane: Entrepreneurial spirit is how this company began, and remains vital to our success. And entrepreneurial spirit means that ideas and case studies only go so far: ultimately you need to get on the (proverbial) plane and fully commit to the journey
- We know what we don't know: We expect that everyone has confidence in what they do know, and honesty in what they do not know
- We run towards darkness: We have the courage to embrace the unknown, and work through uncertainty rather than grasping on to an inferior plan just because it is more immediately apparent
- We are defined by our resilience: We’ve never seen anyone fail that did not quit. And that’s why resourcefulness and resilience are equally important to us: we can’t just start with a great idea: we need to keep pushing, failing fast, getting better– and never quitting on our mission or your team
- We expect challenge & respect: The only way we will consistently achieve excellence is to constantly challenge each other and the work we do together. Artificial harmony among our team will only hold us back. But as we challenge each other, we must always do so with respect for each other and the work
- We pursue answers before the question has to be asked: We seek to understand our customers so well that we can anticipate what they need– and how to build for the need– before it’s even asked for. This is equally important for our artists as it is our brand clients
