Many people only focus on the guy in the front but never look to see who has his back. Who also has been instrumental in the progress that has occurred. In this new deal where Square is acquiring a majority stake in Tidal for close to $300 million, everybody is focused on Jay-z but not the other partners that are involved in making this happen. When you study this, other people could model this moves into something that is appropriate for their scale and size relative to their financial position.
.
The real story here is one of group economics. The partners that worked on Tidal from the start, were people like Rihanna, Usher, J Cole, T.I, Alicia, Beyonce, and many others. It wasn’t just Jay Z.

So the question is who can you pool money and partner up to build with together instead of, just for the individual?
