music artists. Our innovative model provides immediate cash flow options, enabling artists to

methodologies alongside innovative optimization tactics.

Founded by Lior Tibon, former COO of TIDAL, and Christopher Nolte, former Business

$235 million in funding from Flexpoint Ford, Nyca, Northleaf, Viola Ventures, Roc Nation, and

others. Duetti's music platform has helped over 500 artists in over 30 countries receive up to $3

million per transaction.

With offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and London Duetti offers a competitive

benefits package, including healthcare coverage, flexible paid time off, and a hybrid work model.

Duetti provides an inspiring and familial yet ambitious work environment, where your expertise

and creativity will contribute to reshaping the future of artist monetization and make an

immediate tangible impact on artists’ lives. Join us on this transformative journey as we reshape

the financial landscape for artists.
