How Live Media Platform Moment House Is Elevating Virtual Performances

With its geofencing capabilities, low latency streaming technology, ticketing security and opportunities for merchandising, the platform provides a space where artists can simulate the feeling of a concert all online, and make money. Meanwhile, fans can chat with each other and enjoy a quality live performance from anywhere. The LA-based company is coming on the scene at a time when live events needed some innovation. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerts and other large in-person events have been deemed a no-no, so artists who still want to perform have had to get creative.

Yesterday, the writer Damon Young published an op-ed in The Washington Post Magazine, outlining the two choices that he feels he’s facing as a creator of a forthcoming Spotify show, considering that Joe Rogan has caused many creators to question whether to keep aligning with the platform. Looking ahead, co-founder and CEO Arjun Mehta says Moment House’s success will not be contingent on the course of the pandemic. Rather, the platform is going to expand its capabilities, redefining what it means to attend a concert.

The self-described "social live media platform" which has powered virtual concerts for Tame Impala and Isaiah Rashad just secured $12 million in Series A funding, led by Forerunner Ventures. To date, the company has sold some 1 million tickets for live online events for artists including Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Halsey, Kygo and Christina Aguilera. Since the creator economy is so large and nuanced, Mehta says his team is helping artists and performers become more creative about what they can offer their superfans — and the moment’s value prop. “You have to completely rethink the way you’re approaching different types of creators,” he says.

No one inside the home was injured, and Newport Beach Police Department officials said in a press release later Tuesday morning that there are no outstanding suspects. By the time officers arrived at the scene, they observed an armed man suffering from gunshot wounds lying on the ground outside the home. A quiet upscale neighborhood in Newport Beach was shaken by a targeted home invasion early Tuesday morning, police confirmed. A history of the movement by EarthDay.org, where Hayes remains board chair emeritus, says the date of the first Earth Day — April 22, 1970 — was chosen because it fell on a weekday between spring break and final exams and the aim was to attract as many students as possible.

"I don't walk around this building being worried about a motion to vacate," Johnson told reporters on Saturday. "I've done here what I believe to be the right thing and that is to allow the House to work its will. And as I've said, you do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may." The rebellion puts Johnson's job at risk if Democrats don't step in to save him if the group of hardliners forces a vote. But Greene hasn't given a timeline for if and when she plans to force a vote.

To date, the company has processed 1 million tickets for live online events for creators and artists including YouTube gamer Jacksepticeye, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Halsey, Kygo and Christina Aguilera. Those are just a handful of the virtual concerts that Moment House has powered over the past several months, and the self-described “social live media platform” just secured $12 million in Series A funding to do even more. Moments are livestreamed and interactive, so they’re well suited to improvisational, chatty podcasts with devoted listeners. Bart Coleman, Moment House’s head of comedy, described the events to me as having “‘anything can happen’ energy.” Past Moments have included interactive trivia with audience members and a live merch fundraiser where hosts made a drinking game out of the milestones reached.

Plus, check out upcoming moments with Michelle Branch, Tinashe, Seether, and more. Following the acquisition, the first Moment event will be Crooked Media’s Pod Save America Live from Washington, D.C., on Thursday, Oct. 19, featuring special guests Sen. John Fetterman, chef José Andrés and Virginia State Senate candidate Jennifer Carroll Foy. "Performative album films are the new music video, that's really what this is" says Moment House co-founder Arjun Mehta.

The platform makes money from a 10% service fee on the customer, and to date, has processed over 1 million tickets across 168 countries and an additional 44 territories. Artists either work closely with the Moment House team to produce concerts, or use a self-serve option, which lets them create a Moment, set their price, add a merchandise bundle, go live and get paid on their own. Moment House gives artists 100% of ticket and merch sales, and makes its money through a 10% service fee tacked on to ticket sales. Mehta says that on the high end, artists are making multi-millions from their Moment House ticket sales, and to date, the company has processed 1 million tickets across 168 countries and an additional 44 territories.

Other recent “gigs” of note have ranged from Brockhampton doing a show’s worth of highly produced production numbers to coincide with that group’s new album release to the EDM artist Kygo doing a DJ set adjacent to a mountaintop ski chalet (pictured above). Moment House has hosted events for a wide variety of celebrities and digital content creators, including KSI, My Brother, My Brother, & Me, Halsey, Kygo, Marina, Yungblud, and Isaiah Rashad. Moment House, a platform that hosts ticketed live performances virtually, has officially launched thanks to a $1.5 million seed round led by Forerunner Ventures. Several angel investors including music industry veterans Jared Leto and Scooter Braun also participated. The first is scaling the team to ensure that Moment House can become “the go-to infrastructure” in the crowded marketplace for virtual concert platforms. Moment House has already poached executives from Spotify (Sam Berger, head of music at Moment House), WME (Michele Bernstein, marketing strategist) and AEG Presents (Casey McCabe, head of live music and strategy).

More than 20 arrests were made at the University of Texas campus in Austin on Wednesday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The scene at the University of Southern California's University Park campus has calmed after major activity erupted during a demonstration earlier on Wednesday. Many of the protesters "do not appear to be affiliated with USC," he said. Texas Department of Public Safety said earlier that more than 20 people were arrested after the Palestine Solidarity Committee organized a walkout and occupation of the school's South Lawn. All lanes on Newport Coast Drive between Pelican Hill Road North and Vista Ridge were shut down until further notice due to the investigation, police said on X, formerly Twitter.

Nothing is off limits, from culture to race to politics, delivered with absolutely no filter. As pointed out by Engadget, “there’s a big drawback to Soundtrap if you’re planning on also publishing on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher or another podcasting service. Soundtrap won’t generate an RSS feed for each episode, which you will need to publish your podcast outside of Spotify.” That feels on brand. It earns revenue by taking a small commission on each ticket sold to cover payment processing and production costs. Yes, Moment House offers native iOS and Android event apps for creating, promoting, and hosting events on the go.

Russia has been gathering momentum both on the ground and in the air, threatening a summer offensive that could crack the Ukrainians’ lines and threaten their major cities. These include Kharkiv — the major city nearest to the Russian border — and possibly Kyiv itself, forcing the government of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy out of the capital. Texas state troopers in riot gear broke up a group of protesters at the University of Texas at Austin after a demonstration Wednesday. The Austin Police Department told CNN they are assisting the University of Texas Police Department with transporting arrested protesters. Shaimaa Zayan, operations manager of CAIR Austin, stressed that law enforcement should prioritize de-escalation and dialogue when handling peaceful protests.
