Keynote – Milana Lewis
summary
Built a distribution and payout platform for musicians that launches in 2015 and becomes a partner to Spotify Apple Google Amazon, aggregates revenue from 25 platforms and pays out all rights holders simultaneously with monthly dashboards. Claims showable: revenue-per-song and collaborator shares, account managers in a paid tier (Stem Direct), and surprising uses—investors and even a jeweler added as shareholders. Operational limits include net‑60/90 delays for financials and measurable hard and soft churn, so tools work but data lags and retention remains tricky.
