For three years, Sellaband supported the sharing of revenue, a form of equity crowdfunding. Research from the ''Journal of Economics & Management Strategy'' examined investment data on the Sellaband platform during this time period. The data shows that, while investments can come from funders around the world, distance continues to affect the flow of funding and information.<ref>Agrawal, Ajay, Christian Catalini, and Avi Goldfarb.

==SellaBand 2==
On October 1, 2009, SellaBand launched a new model that gave artists total flexibility in their fan funding plans and did not take rights. Any artist, signed or unsigned, could use SellaBand to fund any project.<ref>(Press Release) [https://www.sellaband.com/en/news/50-welcome-to-the-all-new-sellaband News - Welcome to the All New]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21. (Press Release) </ref> The new model also incorporated the change, that artists are free to choose how much money the want to raise. The minimum funding target is [[euro|€]] 3000,-- and the maximum funding target is [[euro|€]] 250.000,--. Artists can also choose if they want to integrate a [[revenue sharing]] option into their funding. The minimum incentive is a download.<ref>[https://www.sellaband.com/believer/new#artist Join]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21.</ref>

Artists can now choose different project objectives they want to fund:
* music recording;
* record releases (digital/physical);
* promotion and/or marketing campaigns;
* live concerts / touring / festivals;
* an exclusive fan product;
* a combination of all of the above;<ref>[https://www.sellaband.com/en/pages/how_it_works_artists Sellaband]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21.</ref>

On June 1, 2010, SellaBand launched a German version of SellaBand.<ref>(Press Release) [https://www.sellaband.com/en/news/135-german-version-is-online News - German version is online!]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21.</ref>

On August 27, 2010, SellaBand announced that the [[Dutch Central Bank]] (DCB) got in touch with SellaBand to investigate whether or not the 'withdrawal option' at SellaBand was a violation of the law on [[financial supervision]] (Wet Financieel Toezicht/ Wft). From day one the DCB stressed that they were never under the impression that SellaBand was willingly violating the law. After a couple of months of investigating they came to the conclusion that it is a violation of the WFT (article 3.5 of the WFT) and that SellaBand, since SellaBand isn´t and is not going to be a Bank, has to stop the withdrawal option. SellaBand then had stop the offer to withdraw money deposited to SellaBand from September 1, 2010 on. However, revenue earned with investments made in SellaBands artists can still be withdrawn from a SellaBand account <ref>(Press Release) [https://www.sellaband.com/en/news/174-refund-of-money News - Refund of money]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21.</ref>

On August 30, 2010, SellaBand announced that the lead [[currency]] would be changed from [[US$]] to [[euro|€]] after September 1st, 2010.<ref>(Press Release) [https://www.sellaband.com/en/news/183-from-dollar-to-euro News - From Dollar to Euro]. Sellaband. Retrieved on 2013-09-21.</ref>

==Believers==
{{Refimprove section|date=September 2012}}
Individuals interested in supporting Sellaband artists do so by buying "parts" in them. Believers can purchase any number of "parts" in a single artist or "parts" in multiple artists.

Until all parts are sold, the money collected from Believers in exchange for artist "parts" is held in an [[escrow]] account managed by a third party (Dieter Roesing, Rechtsanwälte und Notare, Bocholt), regulated under German Law,<ref>(Press Release) [http://www.sellaband.com/tribune/edition66/ Sellaband Tribune Article "Sellaband & Escrow"]</ref> and cannot be accessed by Sellaband or the artist. Any [[interest]] accrued during this period is kept by Sellaband.<ref>[http://www.sellaband.com/site/faq_believer.html Frequently Asked Questions - SellaBand<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> During this time Believers may sell back any number of "parts" they have in an artist, which are re-deposited into the Believer's Sellaband account, and buy parts in other artists. No money deposited in Sellaband can be refunded to a Believer, but only used to buy parts in another artist, although any revenues gained on the platform can be paid out to a PayPal account upon request. Once the target is raised, the Believers' funds are committed to the artist and the Escrow Agent transfers the funds to Sellaband for the recording project, less 15% administration fees.

==Partnerships==
In December 2007, the company announced a partnership with [[Amazon.com]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Kiss |first=Jemima |title=Amazon hooks up with bands site |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/dec/18/digitalmedia.web20 |date=2007-12-18|accessdate=2007-12-26 |publisher=[[Guardian Unlimited]] |location=London}}</ref> This was initially for the UK but has been successfully repeated with Amazon in Germany and USA.

In March 2009, SellaBand announced a deal to launch in USA with Chuck D’s music company, BTN (Bring The Noise) Management, in which the former Public Enemy front man will function as Sellaband’s "US ambassador."<ref>{{cite web|last=Van Buskirk|first=Elliot|title=Sellaband Launches Stateside with Ambassador Chuck D|url=http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/03/sellaband-launc/|publisher=Wired}}</ref>

In June 2010, SellaBand formed a partnership with [[Soundcloud]] giving artists the ability to import the music they have on their Soundcloud account into SellaBand without additional uploads.<ref>{{cite web|title = Website Update: 01/06/10|url = (Press Release) https://www.sellaband.com/en/news/134-website-update-01-06-10}}</ref>

Sellaband was a music website that allowed artists to raise the money from their fans and the SellaBand community in order to record a professional album. Sellaband used the mechanisms of crowdfunding and was to be seen as a Direct-to-Fan/fan-funded music platform utilising a Threshold Pledge System / Provision Point Mechanism. It was set up by Johan Vosmeijer (ex Sony/BMG), Pim Betist (ex Shell), and Dagmar Heijmans (ex Sony/BMG) in August 2006. Its offices used to be located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, but it was originally incorporated in Bocholt, Germany.

On April 8, 2008, Sellaband raised EU€3.5 million[1] (US$5 million)[2] in their Series A round led by Prime Technology Ventures.[3]

In early 2009, Pim Betist left Sellaband to set up Africa Unsigned,[4] using Sellaband technology as a base and supported by the Dutch government.

In January 2010, Sellaband filed for bankruptcy.[5] It relaunched days later, after an investor stepped forward. The office was relocated to Munich, Germany.[6] On August 28, 2015, the Sellaband GmbH filed for bankruptcy, too. This was rejected because of lack of mass by the District Court Charlottenburg on January 12, 2016.

For three years, Sellaband supported the sharing of revenue, a form of equity crowdfunding. Research from the Journal of Economics & Management Strategy examined investment data on the Sellaband platform during this time period. The data shows that, while investments can come from funders around the world, distance continues to affect the flow of funding and information.[7]

Events

[edit]

Sellaband conducted three official concerts in Europe.

Artists who reached their goal

[edit]

86 artists reached their fundraising goal. In December 2009 Cubworld was the first artist, closing his second budget.[8] Less than two weeks after bankruptcy, Aryn Michelle[9] was the first artist, closing her budget under the new SellaBand-management. In October 2010 Epyllion closed the first budget on Sellaband that was not used for recording new but for promoting of already released music.

Upon closure of the site, there were over 700 artists registered on Sellaband raising funds.

The following table shows the most notable artists that reached their funding goal on SellaBand:
