Haawk
Haawk raised $2.5m of seed funding, and straddled the boundaries of copyright protection and content distribution: it’ll handle YouTube Content ID tasks for its clients, as well as rights management on Facebook, Vimeo and SoundCloud. But it also promises to distribute music to Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Pandora and other streaming services, as well as working in the sync-licensing sphere.
