Why we invested

Why Surreal,
and why then.

Booking live entertainment is still phone calls, spreadsheets, and last-minute scrambles. Surreal (formerly Muso) is rebuilding that workflow as a real marketplace – connecting artists, venues and entertainers with payments, contracts and discovery in one place.

The team had been on every side of the live-entertainment business before they built Surreal. They knew exactly which decisions get made on gut, which get lost in DMs, and where a platform actually changes outcomes.
