The Last Barrier in Music: how a pre-seed startup is opening catalogues to new markets

A 45-minute online session from Moozz, a Swiss music-tech startup launching its beta during Slush Week. For founders, investors and music industry operators: the pivot, the rights model, the live product, and what we learned raising in a market everyone says is uninvestable. Moozz is a pre-seed music technology company from Zürich. We let rights holders release the songs they already own in new languages, in the original artist’s voice, with the artist’s consent and every version documented. We are launching our beta during Slush Week and this session is the online version of that launch, built for the startup ecosystem rather than for fans. What we will cover: The pivot: we started as a responsible music generator, hit a catch-22 in scaling responsibly, and rebuilt the company around localisation. What that cost, what it unlocked, and how we decided. The business: a B2B engine first, and the revenue branches that grow from it (distribution, catalogue, data, infrastructure). A one-page map we will share with attendees. The product: a live demo of a song crossing a language barrier, including the rights trail behind it. The raise: what investors actually ask about music tech, the objections we hear most, and how a former CFO answers them. Open Q&A, and a few beta seats for founders and investors who want to test it with their own catalogue or portfolio companies. Who this is for: founders building in IP-heavy or regulated markets, early-stage investors looking at creator economy and media, music industry operators (labels, publishers, distributors, managers), and anyone around Slush Week curious about how a consent-first model competes with the “ask forgiveness later” approach. Hosted by Eduardo García (CEO, former CFO of a company scaled from 50 to 450 people and a 100M exit) and Jérôme Keff (COO, ex BMG and Universal Production Music). Free, online, no sales pitch. Two sessions so attendees in Helsinki and in other time zones can join.
