Musiversal Secures $6M to Grow Global Music Collab Platform

Musiversal, the Lisbon-based music tech startup that connects musicians for remote recording sessions, has raised $6 million Series A funding as it eyes off a move into the US.

The platform:

• Co-founded in 2018 by André Miranda and Xavier Jameson.

• For $249 a month, subscribers can book unlimited live remote recording sessions with professional musicians.

• They retain full ownership of their music.

• The platform currently has 100 musicians on its books and 1,000 members, and hosts roughly 100,000 sessions annually.

• As per Axios, the company aims to double these numbers by the end of 2026.

• Musiversal positions itself as “human-first” in the AI era, with Co-Founder and CEO André Miranda telling Axios: “We’re not anti-AI, but we’re proposing a different pathway for artists and musicians, which is we’re not going to replace musicians with AI. We’re going to make musicians more relevant in the age of AI.”

Investment:

• As per Axios, the company intends to use the latest cash injection to expand beyond basic recording sessions to incorporate co-writing, production and marketing services to the platform.

• It also plans to develop educational resources by offering free content, workshops, webinars and ideation sessions.

• As part of its US expansion plans, Musiversal will host the “No Limits Live” event on October 25 in Los Angeles, which will feature live recording demonstrations, musical performances and networking operations.

What they said:

• Xavier Jameson, Musiversal Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer (on LinkedIn, as per Music Business Worldwide): “Musiversal is on a mission to redefine music production – making world-class, unlimited professional live recording accessible to everyone, everywhere, and with one membership. Real people. Real-time. Real music.”
