Mozaic provides a payment-splitting platform for creators centered on an API that plugs into platforms like Spotify, YouTube and Twitch and uses JSON-based smart-contract rules to route payments to collaborators. The company was founded in 2015 by CEO Marcus Cobb and SVP of Growth Rachel Knepp and pivoted to collaborative payments in 2020, launching an early beta in January 2022. Its products include an API, a forthcoming Chrome extension that lets users add splits on product pages, and an invite-only mobile app with broader availability planned for Q1 2024. Mozaic charges 1.99% + $1 per transaction (capped at $25) and automates payments and reporting for collaborators, with customers such as Made By Us Music. The startup says its solution works across creator types beyond music — including YouTubers, Twitch streamers and newsletter writers — and is building business-facing reporting tools. Mozaic is cashflow positive as of this year and plans to expand its team while remaining close to profitability. Jammber is a five-year-old company co-founded by Marcus Cobb that offers a suite of mobile apps to manage collaboration, credits, rights, touring and related administration for music creators. Its Muse app enables collaborators to exchange lyrics and song ideas, while Splits tracks ownership and credits for resulting works. nStudio tracks songwriting credits to assist with chart and Grammy submissions via a partnership with Nielsen Music, and PinPoint helps organize touring; the platform also includes a presence feature to tag contributors in the studio. The company shifted from a networking tool to a full management toolkit after label feedback about payroll and attribution problems. Jammber says its tools were developed with input from local musicians, producers, A&R people and label executives. The company plans to use a recent funding round to take those tools to a broader market.
