Refract was born from our own experiences. We knew sales coaching was broken - and that we could start help to fix it, or at least provide the tools to help companies ensure effective coaching and peer collaboration. As managers, coaches and reps, we understand the value of coaching, collaboration and sharing best practice. But being honest, it’s never easy. Finding the time to ride along, lacking a shared reflection and delivering praise or ideas, let alone corrective feedback isn’t a simple skill to master.

Artists Ahead is a company that enables music rights holders to retain a greater proportion of the royalties generated by their music and protect their copyright. They argue that music royalties generate around £2 billion in revenue each year in the UK, but many artists receive a very small proportion of the income generated. Artists Ahead aims to change this and charge around 8% of royalties with the rest going to the artist. The platform collects both recording and publishing royalties, uses blockchain to provide proof of ownership, and holds all digital assets and royalty data in one place, accessible to the customer on any device. The company claims that its business model is transparent. They intend their business to reach maturity in 2025. It anticipates the purchase of its brand by potential buyers as a foreseeable exit plan. Artists Ahead also envisage an IPO permitting investors to trade their shares as another exit opportunity.
