It’s been awesome to get to know and work with Ian, Shamal Ranasinghe, and Peter Gotcher – the founders of Topspin.  These guys know their business – and the transformation it’s going through – better than anyone else I’ve ever met.  My partners Ryan and Jason who spearheaded our investment in Topspin have been looking for their "music investment" since I met them.  This is it – and it’s a monster.
