Own the music
you love. Get paid
when the world listens.

Every indie album, an IPO. Fans buy shares from a few dollars. Royalties from every major DSP route to escrow. Shareholders get paid monthly. Artists keep their masters.

Why now

The labels took the catalog.
We’re giving back the upside.

Three companies own most of recorded music. The artists who make it live on a sliver of the stream. The fans who keep it alive own nothing at all. We don’t think that’s how culture should work.

“An album is a small business. A fan is a patron. A payout is the part nobody ever built.”

Ostinato is the missing rail we’re building. Indie artists will raise from the people who already listen. Fans will become shareholders — regulated, audited, paid monthly — once ECSPR authorization is granted. The only number we plan to take is 1.5% on distributions. Everyone wins when the music does.

How it works

Five steps.
One flywheel.

01

The artist applies

An indie musician submits their next record. We verify their streaming footprint, rights ownership, and the goals for the raise.

DSP verificationRights checkProject goals
StudioThe artist applies
02

We underwrite

Our DCF model projects ten years of streaming across every DSP. Three risk tiers set the discount rate. The KIIS disclosure is published for every offering.

03

IPO opens to fans

Ten thousand shares. All-or-nothing. A thirty-day window. Fans reserve from as little as a few dollars — and only pay if the raise closes.

The album drops

The funded record releases to every major DSP. Master-recording royalties route to the Ostinato escrow account from day one.

Monthly payouts, every month

Pro-rata splits get calculated automatically. Shareholders are paid every month. We take 1.5% on distributions — that's it.

The three sides

Artists. Fans.
The rails that connect them.

Side B · The Fan

Be a real
shareholder.

Once we’re live, fans will be able to buy shares in the music they love and receive monthly cash distributions as the album streams — with every payout, stream, and playlist add visible in their dashboard.

Side C · The Rails

Compliance. Escrow.
The boring stuff.

Ostinato is building the infrastructure to run regulated offerings under ECSPR once authorization is granted — DSP accounting, escrow, payouts. Planned fee: 1.5% on distributions. Nothing on the raise. Nothing from the artist.

Join the founding

We’re targeting a Q4 2026 launch and building to operate under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation (ECSPR). Authorization is not yet granted. The first 1,000 founding members get priority access to every IPO — 24 hours before the public — plus lower fees for life and private Q&As with listed artists.

No payment. No commitment. Just your email.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

That's the plan. Ostinato is being built to operate under the EU Crowdfunding Regulation (ECSPR) — the same framework Seedrs and Crowdcube use. We have not yet been authorized, and no offerings are open today. Nothing on this site is an offer of securities. Once ECSPR authorization is granted, every IPO will be a regulated offering.
