Impressive, now let's see Paul Allen's tracks.

[BertKoor]

Quincy Jones said in an interview with Vulture that Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen can sing and play guitar “just like” rock legend Jimi Hendrix.

btw, he died October 15, 2018 - aged 65.

He didn't - the invenstment firm he founded while he was still alive however did...

of course you could have found this out yourself easily....

JoseC, you might want to fix your misleading and incorrect thread title.

Just edit the first post and type over the old title.

Hmmmm investment companies don't normally toss money around without Return on Investment in mind.

Vulcan Inc. and Prosus Ventures have a decidedly vampire capitalism feel to them.

Where does the revenue of Bandlab come from? Advertising, or ?

I hope Cakewalk by Bandlab doesn't fall victim to a subscription service scheme.

vampire capitalism

would explain why dead people are investing.

No idea about Prosus, but Vulcan's goals are clearly leaning towards the altruistic side of things. Luckily a lot of philantrophy exists on this planet, or else it would be even in much worse shape. Rich people are often smart people and smart people are often good people.

Well be that as it may Dun and Bradstreet has Vulcan with annual sales of $150 million.

Yes some divisions of Vulcan are known for charitable work in the areas of "animal activism, environmental and ecological lobby".

But "Vulcan Inc’s assets range from global financial investments and business ventures, to a vast property portfolio, high-value art and a professional American football team".

So one could not be faulted for being a little skeptical that their motives are altogether altruistic with their investment in Bandlab.
