BeatConnect, the collaborative music creation platform, is excited to announce a significant milestone: securing $2.25 million CAD in funding ahead of its innovative relaunch. This investment round, supported by a diverse group of strategic investors from the tech and music industries—including Sfermion, FICC, Anges Québec, and Triptyq Capital—marks a pivotal moment for BeatConnect. The platform, renowned for enabling real-time global music collaboration, is set to revolutionise music creation with a gamified approach, redefining the way musicians, producers, and vocalists connect and create together.

This platform evolution embodies BeatConnect’s commitment to innovation and their belief in the transformative impact of merging music creation with gaming dynamics.
“Sfermion is committed to supporting intelligent, interactive, and immersive technologies that are building our digital future,” says Dan Patterson, Board Member of lead investor Sfermion. “BeatConnect’s deliberate focus on enhancing the user’s creative process through UX design sets them apart from other online collaboration platforms.”
“We are grateful to have the support of some of the most forward-thinking investors in digital entertainment and tech,” says BeatConnect Co-Founder Alexandre Turbide.
