# 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
