You're In Business

RoyFlow is a pre-launch workflow tool addressing a specific pain point in the music sync licensing market. While the problem-solution fit is logical and the graph-based matching technology is relevant, the project currently lacks verifiable traction, active users, or revenue. It falls into the 'minimal traction' category, representing a promising concept rather than a proven business.

Project Details

Description
RoyFlow gives independent musicians the internal sync infrastructure labels use — without needing a licensing department. It captures briefs, surfaces best-fit tracks with clear confidence scoring, and tracks placements through to verified outcomes in one continuous flow. The result is less guesswork, faster pitching, and repeatable placement momentum.
Audience Reach
RoyFlow is currently in early access / pre-launch. We are onboarding our first cohort of independent musicians and licensing collaborators and expect initial monthly reach in the low hundreds during beta. Our projected growth model targets independent artists, producers, and small sync teams operating across streaming, film, and advertising briefs — with scalable reach into thousands of active users as catalog volume and brief cycles increase.
Target Users
RoyFlow is built for independent musicians, producers, publishers, and small licensing teams who actively pursue sync placements. It’s especially valuable for creators handling recurring briefs who need structure, fit clarity, and outcome tracking without building a full licensing department. The platform helps artists with growing catalogs respond faster, make more confident pitch decisions, and track placement momentum across cycles. As we scale, RoyFlow is also positioned to support boutique publishers and music supervisors managing higher brief volume.
Technologies
Bright Data, Neo4j, Algolia, Other, RoyFlow is built on a modern web stack including React and Tailwind for the frontend, Node.js backend services, managed Neo4j for structured matching logic, Algolia for indexed search,
Traction Evidence
RoyFlow is currently in controlled early access. While public user traction is in early stages, we have validated demand through creator interviews, demo walkthroughs, and sync-focused community engagement. We expect traction to grow through direct onboarding of independent artists and boutique sync teams, with expansion driven by placement success and referral momentum.
