## What Is Corite (CO)?

[Corite](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/corite/) (CO) is a Swedish music and tech startup founded in 2018 that has its own distinct approach to funding artists. It works by letting fans invest in music and get a share of streaming profits, becoming an integral part of the journey from product creation to implementation.

The beta version of the platform was released in October 2019 and now has a 25 '000 user base. The essence of the Corite business model is as follows: thanks to the financial support of fans, artists can independently build their careers and earn money from their own work. Fans can even get involved in the creative process and promote their favorite music. Meanwhile, artists can fund and release their music through dedicated fandom. This scheme works due to the strong connection between artists and fans.

In July 2021, Corite entered the US market and partnered with Hitco to successfully close a US$2.2 million presale for their utility token $CO – the native currency of the Corite platform. Thus, Corite expanded their audiences, attracted a talented team and created a democratic working environment for artists. More recently, in January 2022, Corite also announced the closing of a €600K seed round for the European launch of its fan funding platform. The round was led by Tagehus, Eastate and Almi Invest.

Corite works alongside a number of prominent music industry professionals such as [L.A. Reid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Reid) and [Charles Goldstuck](https://charlesgoldstuck.com/), founders of Hitco Entertainment, legendary producers [Rico Love](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rico_Love) (Beyonce, Usher) and [Konstantin Kersting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Kersting) (Dance Monkey, 4000 studios) and more. Recently, Corite completed a deal with [Alan Walker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Walker_(music_producer) to release multiple tracks and help bring the ["Walkerverse"](https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdBeS8vnf6/) to Web3.

In January 2022, Corite CO succesfully completed a $ 6.2 million private token sale round to launch the upcoming blockchain platform. 

Investors include NGC, CoinCO, Coin98, KuCoin labs, Chromawat, Gate labs, Kyros Venture, Shima Capital, Everse Capital, Rarestone Capital, NGC Ventures, CryptoJ, BTX Capital, Skyman Venture, Exnetworkcapital, Bella Finance, 1001 capital and Hilbert Capital.

In the near future, Corite (CO) plans to launch the blockchain-based platform, which allows holders to participate in fan funding and promotion, get early access to music projects and earn rewards for participating in the Corite ecosystem.

## What Makes Corite (CO) Unique?

Corite is a digital distributor operating in the same space as TuneCore, United Masters and Ditto. But the platform has its own differences – Corite gives fans the opportunity to invest directly in their favorite artists and then receive a fraction of the money that is paid to artists in future royalties. In this way, each fan plays a kind of record label role, funding and in return financially benefiting from potential success. Cash rewards are paid in the form of royalties from Spotify and Apple Music.

Before announcing the amount artists want to raise for their creative products, Corite first rate songs based on streaming history and predictions, and set the percentage of streaming royalty that investors will eventually receive.

The advantages: the system allows fans to be financially motivated by investors, which adds the chances for the track's success. The Corite platform uses a set of tools based on gamification, speeding up the whole process and making everything efficient and fun for the user, thereby increasing the effect of network marketing. 

Corite has more than 150 campaigns and millions of streams on its platform. Artist collaborations include Danny Saucedo, Sabina Ddumba, Kid Travis and King Charles. 

The founders believe that the new music industry would be driven by independent artists, and with the support of Corite, artists can showcase their creativity and enter the music market without the help of traditional record labels. Moreover, the platform not only funds fans, but also distributes music on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
