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.

"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. "The upcoming enhancements will broaden access to music creation, fostering new creative possibilities while focusing on the fun of making music."
