We're asking our community to help us raise $45,000.

I want to tell you exactly what that buys - because it doesn't go very far if you're building a corporate streaming empire and it goes quite far if you are not.

It finishes the app and payments infrastructure - the part that moves money from subscribers to artists from stream one, not stream ten thousand. It funds artist onboarding. It covers the initial content licensing work. It keeps the lights on through launch.

Nobody on this list is buying a boat. but you will be building something beautiful. From $25, you can be part of this.

Somewhere along the way, streaming platforms decided that music was content. Just content - endlessly reproducible, infinitely available, valued at approximately 0.003 cents per play.

We find this argument unpersuasive. The Pack Music Co-operative is built on a different premise: that music is arts, made by people, that those people deserve to be paid for it, and that the infrastructure we deliver it through should prioritise them.

In practice: 70% of every subscription dollar to the artists You actually listened to each month. Human curators making playlists because they love music. Discovery tools built around where you actually live.

We're crowdfunding to finish it. $45,000 gets us to launch. https://crowdfunding.startsomegood.com/thepackmusiccoop
