    In our third platform deep dive, we explore the unique, fan-focused model of SongVest. Host Josh Gilliland breaks down the history of the platform and its pivot to the "Invested Fan™" model, which treats royalty ownership as a "high-end form of memorabilia" that also pays you.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • The "Invested Fan™" model and why this platform is built for passionate fans first.
    • Why being an SEC-qualified offering provides a unique level of investor protection and transparency.
    • The patient, multi-stage investor journey, from the initial VIP auction to the final purchase and first payout.
    • Why this platform may not be the primary choice for investors who are solely focused on maximizing short-term financial returns.
