Nettwerk Music Group is a full-service artist development and music intellectual property company that partners with artists to connect them with fans and help them earn a living from their work. Founded in 1984 and operating globally with offices in major cities, Nettwerk focuses on identifying emerging independent artists and offering white-glove services traditionally reserved for superstars. The company supports digital content production, distribution, promotion, and artist career development, and positions itself to anticipate shifts in consumer behavior and leverage technology. Nettwerk plans to use new capital to invest in artists and pursue music catalogue acquisitions to benefit from the fast-growing independent sector. The company announced a significant structured investment and strategic partnership with Flexpoint, with existing investors Beedie Capital and Vistara Growth also participating. Legal and financial advisors on the transaction included Artisan, Latham & Watkins, Bennett Jones, Cooley, and Morgan Daniels Slager. Nettwerk Music Group provides a unified suite of artist management, marketing and publishing services across its Nettwerk Records, Nettwerk Management, Nettwerk Producer Management and Nettwerk One Publishing divisions. Established in 1984 and led by CEO Terry McBride, the company operates from Vancouver and maintains offices in Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, London and Hamburg. Nettwerk works with recording artists and producers, including Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay, fun., Old Crow Medicine Show, Morgan Page, Passenger and Wanting, and mixers such as Chris Lord-Alge and Bob Clearmountain. The company raised $10.25M in equity growth financing to support its operations. Nettwerk intends to use the proceeds to invest in new and existing artists and to acquire catalog music rights. The financing reinforces the company’s strategy of expanding its artist roster and catalog holdings.
