POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The MIT Arts Startup Incubator just opened with a night at the Cantab Lounge on opportunities for entrepreneurs in the music industry.

Anj Fayemi, an Incubator alum and co-founder of the AI music marketing platform Rivet, joined Liza Levy, president of the Salt Lick Incubator, to talk through the obstacles working musicians face for a sustainable career, and what each of their companies is doing about it. Grammy-nominated roots musician Farayi performed a short set.

Applications for this year’s Incubator are open through October 29. Participating teams with arts and culture ideas in any creative industry get expert guidance and resources to build their ventures, and finalists pitch in the spring for a $15,000 prize.

Look around a Future Founders event and you’ll see leadership everywhere.

It’s in the participant presenting an idea for the first time. The peer offering encouragement. The young entrepreneur stepping outside their comfort zone to start a conversation.

These moments may seem small, but they add up.

Because leadership isn’t something that appears overnight. It’s built one action, one decision, and one opportunity at a time.

Thanks to the hundreds of you who came down to the TMT Christmas Party – held with @tixelofficial, at @lockesbarcoventgarden in Covent Garden – for free booze, food and to admire our shiny new neon TMT sign (cheers Tixel!). It was great to celebrate an exceptional year for the podcast with all of you, and to hang out with so many people who shaped the biz in 2025.
