The platform aims to help independent artists and creatives monetize their work by providing a direct-to-fan engagement solution. At its core is a tool enabling artists to create content-rich apps in approximately 20 minutes, offering a direct connection with fans without costly intermediaries or algorithm-based filters.
"We are very pleased that this transaction and the consequent planned NASDAQ listing of Fenix360 should allow us to accelerate our global ambitions," states Fenix360 CEO Allan Kelpfisz. The company's focus is on creating an "economically invigorating" creative landscape for artists.
The transaction has received unanimous approval from both companies' boards of directors, though it still requires DUET stockholder approval and regulatory clearances. DUET's Co-CEO Dharmendra Magasvaran emphasizes the platform's potential to generate revenue through digital advertising and commerce.
Lance Ford, Founder & President at Fenix360, explains their vision: "With this simplicity, we hope to create a generation of enthusiastic app builders. It is a great way to present yourself to fans and friends and excites them continuously with a media property that you control."
