Focused solely on music, TuneFund is geared for independent musicians who need to cover major expenses, and acts as a portal for artistic patronage, providing tools and guidance for artists to get funding rolling even as they concentrate on creative output.
TuneFund aids musicians in appealing directly to fans – including friends and family – to fund specific projects, from recording to building a band website to mounting a multi-city tour. Designed with simplicity in mind, the TuneFund platform provides all the necessary tools – including music upload – to launch and promote a crowdfunding campaign to a network of fans. TuneFund also integrates seamlessly with all social networks to help campaigns go viral.
There is no cost to initiate a TuneFund crowdfunding campaign. TuneFund applies a 10% administrative fee to the campaign’s gross. Meanwhile, TuneFund claims no interest in intellectual property rights, which remain in complete ownership of musicians.
TuneFund was launched by Greg Remillard, a New York-based producer and recording engineer with deep experience at Internet strategy and online marketing. He co-founded and led the recent sale of DoodleDeals.com, a successful daily deal site. Remillard is also co-author of Real Web Project Management: Case Studies and Best Practices from the Trenches (Addison Wesley), a leading guide to web development and project management.
