From Rich's Pipeline
Black Coffee: music rights × audience × capital.
Illustrative opportunity, subject to qualification and participation. Nothing here states or implies that Black Coffee or his representatives have agreed to any transaction.
$50M–$100M+
Rich's pipeline estimate of the potential catalogue / rights opportunity.
Eligible economic rights associated with a music catalogue could potentially be placed within an appropriate legal structure and offered to eligible investors. Investors may potentially receive economic participation according to the final offering structure. That makes the opportunity fundamentally different from simply buying a collectible or a fan experience.
