Music Tech Capital: Where Investors Are Placing Their Bets — 2026 New York Music Month Edition

​Join us during New York Music Month for a candid conversation with the investors and partners on the front lines of today's cutting-edge music tech deals.

​​We'll open with an in-depth overview of the music tech investment landscape over the last five years, drawing from data on thousands of startups from Water & Music.
