AI Legal & Contract Tools
Split sheets, sync licenses, distribution contracts, master use agreements — AI-generated & e-signed in minutes. 2026: modular short-term deals replace long-form all-rights agreements. $29/contract or $99/mo unlimited.
Sustainability Through Ownership
2026 thesis: artists build micro-economies, not viral moments. BRN's D2C memberships, catalog ownership, and direct fan tools are perfectly positioned.
AI as Admin Sidekick
AI-generated contracts, split sheets, EPKs, and song analysis automate 80% of artist admin overhead — BRN's AI suite is already live and operational.
Micro-Tour Data Routing
Artists no longer tour blindly. Data-led 3–5 city residencies in NOLA, NYC, ATL & CHI replace grueling 30-city bus tours. BRN booking platform built for this.
Modular Short-Term Deals
Long-form all-rights deals are dying. 2026 standard: 12–24 month modular agreements with clear exit points. BRN's License Manager + Split Sheet tool leads this shift.
Why Investors Will Like This
