New way to fund music takes off

On the Raiseman platform a wishlist of a campaign financing solo projects of Piotr Połać – known to the wider audience as Figo from the satirical band Bracia Figo Fagot – has been launched. This is the first music campaign implemented on this platform. The supporters will become a part of the whole undertaking and will have a percentage share in the income from all the musical activity generated by the Figo'86 and Figo and Samogony projects and will receive a number of other benefits.

The campaign will be implemented under an agreement with Overdose Studio (Figo's publisher) and the Raisemana platform, whose technology is the responsibility of Codeaddict, a NewConnect-listed software house.

“We are revealing more pages of our venture, which is not new in the world of music. The person who inspired us to take this action was... David Bowie himself! Back in the 90s, the musician reached for social funding, through which he raised $55 million. We hope that we will also be successful, especially that we have completely different technological capabilities and we open a new chapter in the financing of music,” Piotr Połać, musician, co-founder of Overdose Studios, said.
