The Opportunity

Music Is a Global Asset Class. Capital Has Not Caught Up.

Music royalties are real, recurring, contractually obligated cash flows. African music alone generated over one billion dollars in streaming revenue in 2023. Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Afropop dominate global charts, sync deals, and brand partnerships from Lagos to London to Los Angeles.

The capital infrastructure to monetise these streams at institutional grade has barely arrived. MADCAPP is the platform that closes that gap globally, starting where the opportunity is greatest.

Our Story

The Company Behind the Platform

MADCAPP was built on one unshakeable thesis: music generates real, recurring, verifiable cash flows and those cash flows deserve institutional-grade financial infrastructure.

We were not assembled in a co-working space to pitch a trend. We were built inside MAD Solutions, Africa's most credentialed independent music distribution company. Our deal flow, our data, our underwriting models, and our market relationships are proprietary. They are ours.

MAD Solutions has operated at the centre of Africa's digital music economy since 2001. We were the first Nigerian company to achieve DDEX-compliant direct licensing deals with Apple Music and YouTube. We hold an exclusive technology and distribution partnership with one of Africa's largest mobile network operators.

When MADCAPP underwrites a royalty advance, it is not estimating. It is reading its own data. That competitive position took two decades to build.

Our Mission

To convert music royalties into a scalable, investable asset class, delivering non-dilutive capital to rights holders and structured, yield-generating returns to investors, through proprietary data integrations, automated underwriting, and embedded payment infrastructure.

Infrastructure Over Narrative

Verified revenue data, direct DSP infrastructure, and 25 years of market presence. Every claim backed by data we own.

Non-Dilutive by Design

Capital advanced against revenue. Nothing more. Artists and labels keep their equity, catalogue, and publishing.

Alignment

MADCAPP only performs when artists, labels, and investors all perform. Shared outcomes, not extractive terms.

Speed

Automated underwriting built to move at the speed the market demands. Not 90 days. Days.

How It Works

Royalty Finance, Simplified.
Royalty Returns, Maximised.

MADCAPP converts proven music royalty streams into structured capital instruments, delivering non-dilutive advances to rights holders and yield-generating opportunities to investors.

Why Royalties

Music royalties are recurring, contractually obligated cash flows not correlated to market sentiment. African music royalties represent an asset class at an inflection point: growing rapidly, historically under-financed.

Investment Thesis

Why Music Royalties Now

Music royalties are not an emerging asset class. They are arrived. Afrobeats is the fastest-growing genre on every major streaming platform globally. Artists are selling out arenas in London, New York, Dubai, and Toronto. Sync deals, brand partnerships, and major label advances are flowing at record pace.

What has not kept pace is the capital infrastructure to monetise these revenues in real time. Western rights holders have had access to royalty financing for decades. Artists in Africa and emerging markets have not had a platform with the data depth and infrastructure to service them at institutional grade. Until now.

MADCAPP closes that gap as a fintech platform: deploying proprietary data integrations, automated underwriting engines, and embedded payment infrastructure to convert royalty streams into structured capital instruments.

For investors, that infrastructure represents a differentiated, yield-generating opportunity in an asset class growing faster than almost any other, with a return profile uncorrelated to equity markets, interest rate cycles, or commodity price movements.
