Quantizr Secures $5 Million Seed Round to Automate Live-Tour Finance with AI
On 19 August 2026, AI‑powered financial platform Quantizr closed a $5 million seed round, positioning it to overhaul how live‑tour budgets are managed.
The financing was led by Atlanta‑based venture firm TTV Capital and backed by music‑industry veterans Jonathan Azu (Culture Collective), Chris Kappy (Make Wake Artists) and Andy Levine (Sixthman and Topeka). The capital will expand Quantizr’s financial infrastructure and broaden access to its technology for artist managers, business managers and other tour‑budget overseers.
For years, touring executives have relied on PDFs, spreadsheets and email threads to track contracts, budgets, expense reports and settlement statements. Quantizr’s AI engine pulls financial data from those documents and arranges it into a structured, real‑time workflow. The platform lets users create projections, manage budgets, track expenses and review settlements without re‑entering data across multiple spreadsheets.
The company’s recent launch of Quantizr Tour Financials (QTF) delivers a single view of tour profitability, commissions, expenses and the cash that ultimately reaches an artist. “AI should not replace the people who create music or build careers. It should remove the repetitive work that takes time away from the creative processes that drive artist success,” said Joshua Litwack, CFA, founder and CEO. “Our goal is to give teams a clearer view of the money behind a tour so they can protect margins, make smarter calls, and spend more time on the human work that moves an artist’s business forward.”
Litwack, a former portfolio and risk‑analytics director at Bloomberg and a former director at BlackRock, previously founded Paragon Data Labs, which was acquired by publicly traded Intapp after three years. His background in financial technology and investment analytics informs Quantizr’s design.
TTV Capital’s co‑founder and managing partner Gardiner Garrard added, “Quantizr is bringing operational efficiency and financial clarity to live entertainment, an industry that has long relied on opaque spreadsheets, emails, and documents to calculate financial projections. Josh’s background in the music industry and financial systems makes him uniquely qualified to build and scale this business.”
Since launching nine months ago, Quantizr has quadrupled its user base and secured enterprise contracts with prominent entertainment‑industry firms. The company is offering a free three‑month trial of its tour‑financial platform to broaden adoption.
Quantizr’s approach focuses on automating administrative and financial work rather than replacing creative professionals. The platform is intended to reduce repetitive tasks around tour economics, allowing management teams to devote more time to strategy, artist development and other human‑centered aspects of building an entertainment business.
The seed round reflects confidence from investors familiar with both fintech and music‑industry operations. TTV Capital has a track record of early investments in Bill.com and Greenlight, and the participation of Azu, Kappy and Levine—each with deep ties to artist management and publishing—underscores the platform’s relevance to the live‑tour ecosystem.
In summary, Quantizr’s $5 million seed financing positions the company to expand its AI‑driven financial infrastructure and to scale its platform across the live‑tour industry. The company’s rapid user growth, enterprise contracts, and free trial offer suggest a growing demand for real‑time financial visibility in touring operations.
