Music Frontiers Fundraising Bootcamp 2026
Six weeks of intensive work on sales, fundraising, business model and storytelling with four music-tech startups, run on Veln, the AI platform Amplitude built for music-tech founders. In Hamburg, day one was closed-door: expert sessions from Jakob and Taj, then each founder met three investors in private investment meetings. On day two the four startups pitched for three minutes each to a packed room. Investors and the audience voted separately, with the investors' marks weighted 60% and the audience's 40%.
