Slide 2 · Vision
Entertainment is fragmented.
Today, creators bounce between Spotify, YouTube, Patreon, Instagram, and Discord. Fans use five to ten apps just to follow the people they love.
Sonarus brings everything together — under one roof, one identity, one player.
- Music
- Podcasts
- Audiobooks
- Athletes
- Communities
- Live
Slide 3 · Why Now
Three industries are converging.

Music Streaming

Creator Economy
Massive
Sports Media
Sonarus sits exactly where these three industries overlap. We are not a music app with sports tacked on, or a sports app with music — we are the venn-diagram product.
Slide 4 · Problem
The streaming model is broken for creators.
Creators don't own their audience.
Spotify keeps the relationship; the artist gets a payout statement.
Athletes have no monetization path.
600+ college athletes on Sonarus today see zero revenue from streaming platforms.
Fans are scattered across silos.
Five-to-ten apps to follow the same five-to-ten people.
Platforms keep most of the value.
Sub-$0.005-per-stream rates. The artist sees a fraction.
The world built a stage for distribution.
Nobody built one for ownership.

Slide 8 · The Moat
The athlete advantage.
Athletes are tastemakers with a captive audience. Every walk-out track, every locker-room playlist is a marketing channel that traditional streaming platforms can't access.
Sonarus is where athletes plant their flag.
