Supported by $5.5M in funding, Aiode emerges from closed beta to expand access to musicians and producers globally

Aiode today announced the official launch of its desktop AI music platform, emerging from a successful closed beta with artists, producers, and educators. The platform offers creators precision tools that accelerate workflows while preserving artistic control. Aiode positions itself as the ethical alternative in AI music.

The launch follows a $5.5 million seed extension led by Horizon Capital, with participation from Rega
Ventures, Atooro Fund, and new strategic investor Mindset. This funding supported product
development, beta validation, and readiness for global rollout. Aiode was also recently recognized in
TheMarker’s 2025 list of Israel’s most innovative startups.

“We built Aiode for the way music is truly created,” said Idan Dobrecki, co-founder and CEO of Aiode.
“Creators don’t need gimmicks or shortcuts - they need tools that respect their intent, keep them in
control, and help them move faster. That’s exactly what this launch delivers.”

Aiode’s closed beta program included professional artists, producers, and music educators who tested the platform in real-world studio conditions. Early collaborations also brought Aiode into Abbey Road Studios, where producers explored how the technology could support professional workflows. Beta participants highlighted the ability to regenerate or refine specific sections of music with precision, similar to a studio punch-in, while keeping the full flow of a session intact. This capability allows artists to experiment and iterate without breaking their creative momentum.

Lucas Cantor Santiago, Emmy Award–winning composer, producer, and author of Unfinished: The Role of the Artist in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, said, “Aiode isn't another endless kitsch generator. It's a tool that can empower musicians of all levels while compensating the musicians whose knowledge it was trained on. It is what AI music should be.”

“Mindset was drawn to Aiode’s vision from the start,” said a representative from Mindset. “They are
taking an ethical, creator-first approach in a field that too often forgets the artist. We believe this is how AI will be adopted in music, by supporting professionals rather than replacing them.”

With teams in Tel Aviv, London, and New York, Aiode brings together deep expertise in music production, AI development, and creative software. The company is preparing to expand creator access globally following this launch.
