Subvert Timeline Review and Updates from Alpha Launch

Began refunding platform fee vouchers.
All energy is on getting the platform to "Open Access" — anyone can access beyond the current members-only Alpha.
Two weeks ago, invited 600 more artists to onboard with no support tickets — artists onboarded successfully on their own (set up pages, uploaded music, configured payouts).
Tomorrow (March 5), greenlisting 2,000 more artists; the rest of the 14,000+ artists soon after.
Approximately 8 weeks until Open Access.
Next milestones: new homepage, platform-native co-op join flow, updated Ownership Dashboard, new social media content for launch.
See Sean's latest platform update post.

Working on Musical Rights Strategy — figuring out mechanicals and PROs on the platform.
