AEI Music Creates Investment Arm to Back Non-Traditional Music Industry Entrepreneurs
AEI Music is launching a new investment division called AEI Ventures, targeting innovative entrepreneurs from outside the traditional music and hospitality sectors, with a particular focus on historically marginalized communities.

The venture arm will operate independently, funded through reinvested profits from AEI Music's operations. Selected founders will receive mentorship, peer support, and funding while joining a collaborative network of innovators.
This initiative follows the successful launch of The Halley, AEI's East London shared workspace and production studios, which has already fostered valuable creative collaborations and will serve as an incubator for potential investments.
"We've always found the most success when working with those that come from outside of the traditional sectors we operate in," says Diluk Dias, Co-Founder & CEO at AEI Music. The company aims to expand beyond its dance music industry roots to support diverse entrepreneurs across music and hospitality.
Sarah Cole, Chief Operating Officer at AEI Music, emphasizes the fund's mission to transform music industry culture by providing better access to investment opportunities for underrepresented communities.
As a certified B Corporation, AEI Music maintains high standards for staff welfare and environmental responsibility, principles that will extend to their investment strategy through AEI Ventures.
