Duetti, a music-tech and financial services company focused on helping independent creators monetize and manage their music rights, has secured $200 million in new capital to accelerate catalog acquisitions and expand its technology and services globally.
The new financing package includes a $50 million Series C equity investment led by Raine Partners, the flagship growth equity fund of The Raine Group, alongside a $125 million private securitization and a $25 million increase to an existing credit facility. Duetti said the capital will be used to expand its technology infrastructure, enhance its marketing services, and grow its international footprint as it scales its catalog-acquisition business across both master recording and publishing rights.
Duetti said it has raised more than $635 million over the past three years, including more than $100 million in equity, and has partnered with more than 1,100 artists, songwriters, and other creators across more than 40 countries to acquire and manage portions of their music rights catalogs.
The company also highlighted an acceleration in acquisition volume, saying it is signing more than 80 deals per month—more than 2.5 times its monthly pace from a year earlier—supported by its expansion into publishing rights in addition to master recording rights.
Duetti said it operates with a 65-person team across New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, London, and Rio de Janeiro. The company added that more than 30% of its deals in 2025 originated outside the United States, citing France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, and Mexico among key international markets.
Beyond acquisitions, Duetti said it provides catalog management and marketing services, including playlisting through a network of more than 3,000 playlists with more than 5 million followers across digital service providers, remix production with more than 60 releases per quarter, sync licensing, and more than 200 customized artist marketing programs in 2025.
On the debt side, Duetti said it completed its second private asset-backed securitization of $125 million, bringing its total under its existing master trust to $205 million. The company said it intends to access the securitization market regularly as a recurring financing channel, positioning the structure as a way to provide investors exposure to segments of the music market tied to independent catalogs. Duetti also pointed to a securitization completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, which it described as the first transaction primarily backed by independent artists’ catalogs.
As part of the Series C financing, Joe Puthenveetil, a partner at The Raine Group, will join Duetti’s board of directors.
KEY QUOTES:
“The traditional music industry and the financially driven catalog buyout funds are not able to keep pace and adapt their infrastructure to the explosive growth of the independent music sector. This new funding allows us to continue building proprietary databases and systems to identify, predict, and effectively manage and support music catalogs of independent creators, the fastest growing and most exciting segment of the industry.”
Lior Tibon, CEO and Co-Founder, Duetti
“We are excited to partner with Lior and team as they develop a next-generation music company that empowers independent creators. Duetti has democratized the industry by enabling artists at every stage of their careers to monetize their rights and access the marketing and growth resources offered by a modern label and publisher.”
Joe Puthenveetil and Fred Davis, Partners, The Raine Group
“Working with Duetti gave me clarity and confidence around how to think about my music as an asset. They respect that every artist’s journey is different and took the time to walk me through real options I could align with my long-term goals. Beyond that, they showed up as true partners, supporting my music through marketing, sync opportunities, and career guidance. That level of trust and continued support is what allows independent artists like me to build something sustainable for the future.”
