Projects

A Project in Worth groups together songs, artists, and fundraising campaigns. Projects enable collaboration between multiple organizations with fine-grained permission controls, allowing you to work with external artists, investors, and team members.

What is a Project?​

Projects serve as containers that bring together:

  • Songs - The music you're working with
  • Products - Albums, EPs, and singles
  • Artists - Creator profiles and social media
  • Fundraising - Campaigns to raise investment capital
  • Documents - Contracts and supporting files
  • Investors - Pipeline of potential and confirmed investors

Standard vs. Fund Projects​

There are two types of projects:

  • Standard projects group songs and artists from a single album or catalog segment. This is the default.
  • Fund projects aggregate songs and products from across a label's entire catalog. A fund lets you create one fundraise that spans multiple albums, with products (albums/EPs) providing natural sub-groupings within the fund. Investors see a fund-specific deal room layout with product cards and aggregated projections.

Creating a Project​

Organization Admins can create projects. You're automatically assigned as a Project Admin for projects you create.

Project Dashboard​

Projects are organized into five main tabs:

1. About Tab​

View project metadata, description, and at-a-glance stats. This is the default view when you open a project.

2. Artists Tab​

Manage artist profiles linked to the project:

Features:

  • View all artists associated with project and showcase performance history for fundraising
  • See social media links (Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)
  • Link or unlink artists from the project
  • Contact Worth if you need a new artist profile created
  • Privacy controls (Project Admins): Set how each artist appears to investors in the deal room. Options include showing the artist's real name and full stats, anonymizing with a custom label (e.g. "Artist A"), showing only genre and aggregate stats, or hiding the artist from investors entirely. Changes are logged for audit purposes.

3. Library Tab​

The central hub for your project's songs and products, organized into two sub-tabs:

  • Songs — Songs linked to your project. View song details (ISRC, Spotify ID, status), revenue data, and sort by name, date, or revenue. Project admins can link new songs or unlink existing ones.
  • Products — Albums, EPs, and singles linked to your project. See the Products guide for more on creating and managing products.

4. Fundraise Tab​

Manage your fundraising and investor relationships, organized into two sub-tabs:

  • Fundraise Summary — View the fundraising goal, ownership on sale, minimum investment, and deal terms. Project admins can create or edit fundraise settings. Non-admins can submit inquiries about starting a fundraise.
  • Investors — Manage your pipeline of potential investors and track committed capital. See the Fundraising guide for the full investor journey.

5. Files Tab​

Securely store private documents (contracts, splits, agreements) relevant to the project members. These are strictly internal and permission-gated.

Note: For public-facing documents (like pitch decks), use the "Promo Site".

See the Fundraising guide for detailed information.

Inviting Project Members​

Project Admins can invite organizations and individuals to collaborate. The organization's admins will receive an email and notification. Once accepted, the entire organization gains access based on the role selected.

Project Documents​

Upload private documents accessible to project members:

Document Types:

  • Term sheets
  • Investment contracts
  • Financial projections
  • Marketing materials
  • Legal agreements

How to Upload:

  1. Open the Files tab
  2. Click "Upload Document"
  3. Select file or enter external URL
  4. Add description and file type
  5. Save

Access Control:

  • Project Admins - Can upload, edit, and delete
  • Project Investors - Can view and download
  • Project Viewers - Cannot access private documents

Important: Documents uploaded here are private and only accessible to project members. For public documents, use the public Promo Site.

Multi-Organization Collaboration​

Projects shine when multiple organizations collaborate:

Example Scenario:

  • Artist LLC (Project Admin) creates the project
  • Record Label (Project Admin) provides funding and promotion
  • Investment Fund (Project Investor) invests capital
  • Manager (Project Viewer) tracks progress

Each organization sees the project through their permission level, and team members within each organization inherit that access.

Project Ownership​

Project ownership percentages don’t control song revenue. Each song’s ownership should be entered according to the project’s legal or fundraising agreements.

Common Questions​

Can I have multiple projects for the same artist? Yes! You might have separate projects for different albums, funding rounds, or catalog segments.

What's the difference between a standard project and a fund? A standard project typically represents a single album or catalog segment. A fund project aggregates songs and products from across your catalog into a single fundraise, letting investors participate in a broader portfolio. Products (albums/EPs) appear as sub-groups within the fund.

What if a song is on multiple projects? That's fine. Songs can belong to multiple projects, which is useful for compilations, bundled catalogs, or fund projects that span multiple albums.

Can I change someone's role after inviting them? Yes, Project Admins can update roles at any time through Project Settings.

What happens if I remove someone from a project? They lose all access immediately, including the ability to view or edit project information.

Do investors see everything? No. Project Investors see documents and their own investment, but not the full investor pipeline or admin functions.

Archiving Projects​

Projects can be archived to remove them from active listings without deleting the underlying data. All linked songs, products, documents, and investor records remain intact.

When a Project Cannot Be Archived​

A project cannot be archived if it has:

  • An active fundraise (state is "Fundraising" or "In progress").
  • Approved or finalized investor bids.
  • Finalized investor leads.

Projects with only draft fundraises or no investor commitments can be archived.

How to Archive​

  1. Open the project detail page.
  2. Click the Archive button in the page header (visible to admins).
  3. Confirm in the dialog. If the project is ineligible, the dialog explains why.

Finding and Unarchiving​

Use the Filter dropdown on any project listing to switch between Active, Archived, and All views. Open an archived project and click Unarchive to restore it.
