The app is currently in closed beta (with open applications <a href=\"https://hi.fi/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">via their website</a>), but Damian, Will and Rob generously took an hour to walk through their vision and philosophy around the product, and their takeaways to date on the current state of artist financing, royalty accounting and business management.</p><p>In this recording, you'll learn about the following and more:</p><ul> <li>High-level overview of HIFI's current Royalties Dashboard, including how it might function differently for emerging vs. major-label acts and how it lays the groundwork for other kinds of financial services for music (e.g. Cash Flow)</li> <li>Where the biggest opportunities lie to improve royalty accounting in the music industry, from data transparency to timely data delivery</li> <li>Why artists need different kinds of tools to manage their finances from other \"creators\" (e.g. social media influencers, podcasters)</li> <li>How better accounting can help artists make better decisions about their careers</li></ul><p>For those who weren't able to attend this hangout in real time, hope this conversation is enlightening and informative for you, and gets you thinking about artists' business needs in new ways.</p><p>Also, save the date — our next Discord hangout will be taking place <strong>this Friday, December 4 from 1PM–2PM ET</strong>.
