Everything you need to know — how to move around the platform, what a pledge actually is, what a Deal Room looks like, and how to talk to us if you can't find the answer here.
GREENROOM has five doors — Artist, Above-the-Line, Musician, Fan, and Label — and each one opens onto a different set of rooms. Most users only ever live in one. Below is the lay of the land for whichever door you came through.
Start at /workspace. That's your home room. From there you'll see your project slate (or an empty state with "Upload Your First Lyrics"). Each project has seven sub-rooms accessed from its sidebar:
Idea → Lyrics → Pitch → Invest → Booking → Recording → Deliverables. You don't have to go in order, but most artists do. Idea + Lyrics feed the Pitch deck. The Pitch deck feeds the Label portal. Label pledges feed the Deal Room. The Deal Room produces signed paperwork that lives in Deliverables. Recording is where you make the thing.
If you ever get lost, your AI partner Evie sits in the corner of every room — she knows where you are and where you're heading next.
Two rooms: /opener/edit (your profile) and /casting (the Booking Board where gigs get posted by indie comics on the platform).
Build your profile first — press photo, demo reel, credits, bio. Then browse Booking to find gigs. Submit a demo with Evie coaching you in The Booth (paid tier). When you book a gig, log it in your journey so the press scan can find mentions of the project later.
Start at /fan-room. Projects live in the platform are listed there with their funding progress, deal type, and pledge link. Click any project to see its full pitch and pledge.
Your pledge is a Letter of Intent — not a payment. If the project hits 100% of its drive, the artist closes the deal. If it doesn't, every pledge dissolves and no money moves. The first fan on any project becomes its Cherry Breaker — the one credited on the finished project as the first to believe.
Start at /label-room. The deal board lists every project currently raising. Click one to see the pitch — you'll sign a one-page NDA to access the deck, lyrics summary, and artist's package. Then you can pledge.
When the drive closes, you and the artist schedule a Deal Room session — a private two-party negotiation moderated by Justine, our AI mediator. The term sheet gets drafted in real time. Lawyers take it from there. EP credit is part of the standard agreement on every funded project.
They're the AI partners built into the platform — each one runs a different room:
Hitchcock — lyrics, deck, sizzle, production. The artist's eye.
Warren — the label side. Closes deals, reads rooms.
Evie — booking + musician work. Sessions, feedback, notes.
Justine — the Deal Room mediator. Drafts term sheets live.
Nelson — the fan room concierge. Helps fans find projects.
They're not chatbots. They have eyes (they can see what's on your screen) and hands (they can do things in the room with you). Each one's voice is from ElevenLabs and unique to that entity.
Upload your lyrics. Hitchcock reads it and generates a 10-slide label deck — hook, synopsis, featured artists, market comps, team, budget, ask, return profile, key art. You can regenerate any slide, edit the copy, or rebuild from scratch. Export as PDF or PowerPoint.
A 9-document set that goes alongside your deck: one-pager, treatment, budget summary, comparable returns analysis, team bios, distribution plan, and three legal templates. All generated from your lyrics + your artist profile. Download as a zip or share a private link with prospective label.
Inside your project's Invest room, set your funding goal, deal type (equity / revenue share / donation), and closing date. Flip the portal to live. Your pitch page goes public at /invest/{your-project-id}.
You can also flip on the fan side, which gives you a separate $1-and-up Stripe funnel for fans (vs label). Most projects run both.
The portal auto-closes (no more pledges accepted), every pledger gets an email saying "drive closed, your Deal Room is next," and you get an email with the four-step closing playbook. Your project moves to the Production phase on your workspace, badged "🎬 Now in Production." From there you schedule Deal Room sessions with each label and start signing real paper.
No. A pledge is a Letter of Intent — your stated commitment to fund the project IF the total drive hits 100%. No money moves on a pledge. If the project closes, the artist reaches out to confirm and you wire (or charge via Stripe, for fan-tier projects).
This protects you. You're never on the hook for a project that doesn't get fully funded.
The first person to pledge on a project. Your name gets the Cherry Breaker badge, you're highlighted on the project's Honor Roll, and most artists credit you by name on the finished project. It's the most valuable slot on every drive because it signals to everyone else that the project is real.
Most fan get a credit on the finished project — exact level depends on the artist and the amount pledged. The Cherry Breaker, the Closer (the pledge that hits 100%), and the First Wave (top early pledgers) typically get the highest-billed credits. The standard fan tier is "Special Thanks" or "Backed By."
EP (Executive Artist) credit is reserved for label-tier pledges with signed agreements coming out of a Deal Room.
Yes — until the drive closes at 100%. While the drive is live, you can revoke any pledge from your fan dashboard. Once the drive closes, your pledge becomes a binding commitment, and revocation goes through the artist and their counsel.
Artists post unproduced lyrics and unsigned deals on the platform. The NDA protects their material from being copied or shopped elsewhere while you decide. It's a standard one-page confidentiality agreement, signed digitally, and only takes 30 seconds.
A private two-party session — you and the artist — moderated live by Justine, our AI deal mediator. Justine drafts a term sheet in real time based on what you both agree to, surfaces standard clauses, flags missing pieces, and produces a signable document at the end. Both parties take the draft to their own counsel before signing.
It's not a chatbot. It's a two-sided negotiation room with a third party in the middle keeping it clean.
No. GREENROOM never touches label money. Wire instructions and execution happen between you and each artist outside the platform — bank to bank. We're a deal-making and document-drafting platform, not a custodial or escrow service.
If a project's drive doesn't reach 100% of its funding goal, every pledge automatically dissolves. No money moves. The artist either re-launches the drive at a lower goal or moves on. This protects label from being trapped in undercapitalized productions.
A demo studio built into your dashboard. Upload your lyrics or track, Evie listens and coaches in real time, record your take, get AI feedback, submit straight from the room. Background removal and scene backgrounds available on the paid tier.
A track-by-track breakdown of your project — emotional arc, key collaborators, production notes — generated by Evie from your lyrics. Download as a PDF before your session. There's also a "Booked" version with full recording-prep notes for once you've landed the gig.
Log your recording sessions in the Session Logger (project, track, role, call time, studio). Each morning of a session day you'll get a push notification + email with Evie's one-paragraph note on the track you're recording that day. Free with a paid musician account.
Subscription fees from artists and the paid musician tier. GREENROOM does not take a cut of pledges, investments, or fan funds. The deals happen between artists and their backers — we're the workshop, not the middleman.
A pledge is a Letter of Intent, not a contract. It becomes a binding commitment only when the drive closes at 100%, both parties confirm in the Deal Room, and a signed term sheet exists. Before that, you can revoke it.
Depends on the project's deal type. Fan pledges (small-dollar, donation-style, EP-credit-for-backing) are open to anyone. Equity / revenue-share investments typically require accredited label status per SEC rules — artists verify this before closing.
Every GREENROOM account has a referral code. Use it to invite a artist, musician, fan, or label — when they subscribe, you both get a free week of platform access and you earn the Spread the Love badge on your profile.
Your code is formatted EV-XXXXXXX and lives on your account permanently. The referral modal surfaces it automatically after downloads in the Deck Room and Label Manage page (max once a week). You can also paste it into any share URL:
https:///?ref=EV-XXXXXXX
Anyone who lands on the site with your code in the URL will have it pre-filled in their signup form.
Two things:
1. A free week of platform access added to your subscription. The week stacks if multiple referrals come in close together — refer five friends in a month and you've got five free weeks added.
2. The Spread the Love badge on your profile. Once earned, it stays.
A free week on GREENROOM when they subscribe to a paid plan. They click your link (or paste your code at signup), the code locks to their account, and on their first paid subscription the week-free is applied automatically. No coupon to remember.
When the referred user converts from a free account to a paid plan. Free-tier signups are tracked but don't trigger the reward — the system rewards artists and musician who bring real subscribers, not casual signups that never convert.
No. The system blocks self-referrals — if the same user_id appears on both sides of a referral, neither account gets the credit. Same household / shared device / different name doesn't matter; the check is on the underlying account.
No cap. Refer ten people in a week and ten free weeks stack onto your account. The Spread the Love badge appears after your first successful referral and stays forever. Top referrers also surface on the Tops leaderboard.
Head to /settings → your plan card. Upgrade or downgrade in one click. Pro-rated billing applies. Cancel anytime — your access stays active until the end of the current billing period.
Yes. Artists can also pledge as fan or label on other projects. Musician can also be fan. Each role uses the same account — your dashboard adapts to what you're doing in the moment.
On the sign-in page, click "Forgot password?" — we'll send a reset link to the email on your account. If you signed up with Google, use the Google sign-in button instead.
Bottom of any page — click "Enable Notifications." You'll get push alerts for new messages, scheduled meetings, drive-closed milestones, and (if you're an musician with logged shoot days) your morning shoot-day briefs.
