Mogul, the music royalty management platform, has raised $5m in a funding round led by the Yamaha Music Innovations Fund. The funding will be used to launch a new Catalogue Valuation Centre aimed at helping artists understand the total value of their music catalogue.

Other investors include the Urban Innovation Fund, Mindset Ventures and EU-based Fairway Capital Partners. Amplify LA and Wonder Ventures have also renewed their commitment.

Mogul has processed over $1.5 billion in royalties on behalf of major artists. The platform helps artists

audit and fix their royalties, identifying issues and helping artists submit registrations via their existing portals or ask Mogul to collect on their behalf, with no rev share involved.

Mogul’s new Catalogue Valuation Centre gives artists and managers insight into the value of their catalogues and then connects them with financing partners.

“A universal source of truth for music royalties has long been the industry’s holy grail,” said Jeff Ponchick, founder and CEO of Mogul. “Instead of forcing a top-down solution, trying to wrangle Labels, Publishers, CMOs, and others, Mogul starts at the data itself by bringing together the fragmented metadata that determines payouts and turning it into a clear, actionable view of an artist’s income, with tools to surface and resolve issues fast.”

The Catalogue Valuation Centre will help artists better understand the total value of their catalogue. It will also help artists better understand the value of their top-end tracks and provide a breakdown between publishing and sound recording totals, so they can better navigate their advances and catalogue sales.

“We are committed to building tools that empower musicians to get the best deal possible should they choose to take this path with their career,” said Ponchick.

“Mogul is addressing one of the largest structural inefficiencies in the creator economy: fragmented data across royalties, revenues, and payments,” said Andrew Kahn, managing partner at Yamaha. “By aggregating hundreds of sources into a unified platform, they’re shrinking the tech stack for creators while unlocking faster, more accurate compensation. This combination of broad applicability and deep product execution creates defensibility, and while music is the most visible entry point, the opportunity extends well beyond it.”
