A. Wallach, an American musician and business executive who wrote the essay “Bitcoin for Rockstars” that has become quite popular, stated,“I am thrilled that such capable entrepreneurs are chipping away at the vexing lack of transparency that makes it so hard for artists today to understand their sources of income.There is great opportunity for this approach to evolve into an industry- wide standard.”At the start of 2015, Colu has raised $2.5 million in a seed round which was led by Aleph and Spark Capital, the Tel Aviv startup.
Among the other investors were BoxGroup and Bitcoin Opportunity Corp. At the time, Colu was working on a software that will allow the consumers to purchase and store digital tokens securely.The main aim is to use the open- ledger system of bitcoin, where all transactions are recorded and it is quite difficult to create duplicates, to validate a range of transactions.
