Why do music tech startups struggle to raise venture capital?
Many founders pitch emotionally and describe solutions for problems that do not exist. Rosen says the music system is broken, the sector is still small, and investors see hundreds of similar companies, so differentiation must be factual.

How does Andrea Rosen expect AI to change music tech?
