The Manchester-based startup Dune has appointed Thom Brunner as its Chief Operating Officer and Max Crowther as its Head of Artist Services. The company, founded by Paul Knowles and Paul Bowe, is an app-based platform that lets music fans purchase tradable stakes in artists, with the value changing based on streaming performance.
Brunner, who previously worked at Sassy Media and founded Electric Friends Management, will manage daily operations and strategic planning. Crowther will oversee all artist support services, from onboarding to platform activation. These executive appointments coincide with Dune finalizing a Series A funding round of two million pounds.
Through its platform, Dune enables fans to trade artist stakes and receive exclusive benefits. Artists, in turn, gain income and audience insights from these transactions.
