Harvest Media

Harvest Media specializes in the management and distribution of production music, offering a cloud-based platform that integrates licensing, metadata management, and content delivery for industry stakeholders. Harvest Media is focused on managing and distributing production music through a cloud-based platform. The company has been involved in one funding deal, where Fpe Capital acquired Harvest Media in December 2012. The headquarters is located in Sydney, Australia.

The company was co-founded by Faryn Schwartz, Hamish Diver, Roland Hélène, and Yenloong Chau, with Chiluba Mumba serving as the CEO. Harvest Media offers a comprehensive platform designed to streamline the management and distribution of production music. Their core offerings include tools for licensing, metadata management, music search engines, and content delivery, all centralized within a cloud-based environment. This suite of services enables original publishers, composers, sub-publishers, and record labels to manage their assets effectively and efficiently.

Customers can onboard their content using robust audio and metadata standards, facilitating seamless collaboration across the music industry. The platform supports a range of users, from individual composers to large-scale record companies, operating in multiple geographical markets, including North America, Europe, and Asia, providing tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of the music business. Harvest Media generates revenue through various transactional structures including subscriptions and partnerships with clients across the music industry. Clients may opt for different service tiers that provide varying levels of access to features such as music distribution and royalty processing.

The company offers its flagship product, Harvest Connect, allowing users to upload a significant number of tracks and distribute them to multiple sub-publishers. This model fosters a B2B relationship with record labels and agents, providing streamlined operations and integrated content delivery solutions. The overall revenue model is built around facilitating efficient music management and distribution services that cater to the unique requirements of its diverse client base. Harvest Media plans to launch new products designed to enhance its platform's capabilities, with specific release dates to be announced.

The company is targeting expansion into new markets, particularly in Asia, with plans to establish a stronger presence there by late 2023. The funding from the acquisition by Fpe Capital will be utilized to support these initiatives, focusing on product development and market entry strategies.
