He first set out to create a company to help labels find talent, but quickly realized there was an even more pressing problem that no one had tackled: making sure talent actually gets paid. Through customer discovery and research, Cobb determined that 30-50 percent of music artists don’t see the full payment — or possibly any money at all — they deserve for their work. Much of this is because of outdated and clunky processes on the production side — complicated paperwork, compliance regulations, and poor communication. He founded [Jammber](http://www.jammber.com/) as a tech-enabled tool to manage this payment process.

After going through the Nashville-based [Project Music accelerator](http://www.projectmusic.co/), Jammber is rocking: with two offices in Chicago and Tennessee, they are soon to close on a $1.2 million seed round and have been chosen as one of five music tech startups to participate in this year’s hip hop-focused [A3C Conference Music Tech Startup Spotlight](https://hypepotamus.com/news/a3c-music-tech-day/). Cobb says hip hop startups are the ideal target demographic for Jammber’s platform. “Hip-hop in particular is a very fluid creative process,” says Cobb. “Our mobile is a designed to understand that, while still helping to facilitate discussions like percentage of ownership on a song or tracking everyone involved so you can properly license or release it. These tools can change peoples lives.” Along with Jammber, Music Tech Day will see [RecordGram](https://www.recordgram.com/) (Miami, FL), [TheUpNext](http://www.theupnext.com/) (Chicago, IL) [BrandSnap](http://www.brandsnap.co.uk/) (London, UK), and [RapChat](http://www.rapchat.me/) (Columbus, OH) present in its inaugural Startup Spotlight.
