Bridger [Startup]

Bridger, subsidiary of Audio Valley (EURONEXT: ALAVY), is an online copyright management service for songwriters. Founded in 2021, the service offers an innovative and easy solution for online copyright collection. With Bridger, artists can claim the copyrights of their musical works in just a few minutes. Bridger collects copyright royalties generated on music streaming services while digital distributors only collect master royalties, which unlocks a new source of revenues and increases artists’ income. 

Bridger is a free service; there is no registration nor annual fees. Artists who entrust their copyrights to Bridger receive 90% of their global rights. This is the highest rate artists can receive compared to all other Collective Management Organizations across the World. 

Bridger is currently finalizing a new service for publishers, set to be released at the end of 2022. The service will also be enriched with extended sources for copyright collection such as TV, radio and concerts. 

In addition to copyright management and collection, Bridger is also an important source of educational content to help artists develop and grow their careers. Through dedicated blog posts available to all in free access, the company gives the opportunity to everyone to understand the specificities of the music industry and music rights, because knowledge is the key to success.
