Marathon Artists and Sushi Venture Partners launch Marathon Labs Accelerator Program

Marathon Artists and Sushi Venture Partners launch Marathon Labs Accelerator Program. Marathon Labs is an accelerator program, nurturing the new generation of music-centric tech companies. Launching initially in London, Berlin, Tel Aviv and Stockholm.

Marathon Labs brings together new technology and music professionals to build tools for the digital music eco-system. The first mentoring program launches 25.1.16, rolling out a 6 week program, consisting of Music Business Modelling, Mentoring, Business Development and Lead Generation, R&D, Prototyping and deployment into Music Industry Partners.

Marathon Labs believes there is a gap in the market. Many investors will fund new technology but not provide follow up support allowing the tech startup to bring their new technology to market.

Marathon Labs brings together artists, content and media tech startups to solve real music industry challenges, promotion, monetization and data analysis.

Utilising their extensive professional network in both music and technology, Marathon Labs will assist with the acceleration for mature startups. Supporting music related technology startups through a rigorous mentoring program, preparing them to take their product to market and/or future investment.
