Open Music

Artist-first music streaming platform built on Solana that attempted to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct fan-to-artist payments. Raised through Futardio but failed to reach funding target and refunded backers.

Timeline

  • 2026-03-03 — Launched $250K raise on Futardio with direct payment model where subscriber payments go only to artists they listen to
  • 2026-03-04 — Raise closed at $27,533 (11% of target), status: refunding

Relationship to KB

  • futardio — fundraising platform
  • Example of futarchy-governed raise that failed to attract sufficient capital despite novel value proposition
  • Demonstrates market validation function: direct payment model did not attract enough early supporters to reach minimum viable funding
