Edge VC has invested in Pirate, a network of 24-hour studios that offers creatives the chance to record, rehearse, mix, dance, and play – whenever they want.
The funding will help Pirate continue to provide grassroots creatives with accessible and affordable studio space, as well as supporting the development of their artist opportunities.
Pirate aims to offer theitsir community of 250k artists the chance to play festival stages and local gigs, attend workshops and masterclasses hosted by industry leaders, and find new ways of connecting with their audience.
In addition, the funding will bring to market a number of new tools in development to help creative hobbyists and aspiring professionals hone their craft, connect and collaborate with other artists, and ultimately earn more money from their talents. In January 2022, Pirate hit one million bookings and reached a milestone of 250k customers – a number that looks set to grow significantly in the coming months.
