Client Spotlight | Marcus Cobb of Jammber
TenantBase helped Marcus Cobb find downtown Nashville office space for Jammber in 2016. Ten years later, he's confirmed still CEO, with the company having raised over $5.5M in funding.
This week, our client spotlight is Marcus Cobb, founder and CEO of Jammber. TenantBase helped Marcus find a new office space in downtown Nashville in order to accommodate his growing team and so that he could start planning the upcoming national launch of Jammber.
We spoke with Marcus about the challenges facing the music industry, and how Jammber became a one-stop solution for both musicians and labels. We were inspired by his passion for entrepreneurship and empowering the Nashville community.
Update, 2026: Marcus Cobb is confirmed still CEO and co-founder. Jammber has gone on to raise over $5.5 million in total investor funding, including backing from Steve Case's "Rise of the Rest" fund, and remains based between Nashville and Chicago. Some sources indicate the company has explored rebranding to "Mozaic" as it broadens its focus to the wider creator economy, though the most recent source found still refers to the company as Jammber.
Jammber is a platform built for the entertainment industry. The web and mobile app helps musicians and agencies focus on what they really love: music. Jammber's technology ecosystem eliminates hours of work on operational tasks and project organization, placing itself at the intersection of commerce and data for the music industry as a platform that optimizes team projects, paperwork, and payment.
"Firstly, we knew it was wrong that people in the entertainment industry weren't getting paid," says Marcus. In fact, musicians are often paid between three months and two years post-project, if they're paid at all. "This isn't malicious, it's just the matter of an inefficient marketplace that was breaking down. A lot of people touch a project, everything is handwritten on paper, and it's a highly error-prone process. Conversely, this is where technology excels." Marcus's "aha" moment came after interviewing musicians and labels about the backend process of how music gets made. When he heard, "sometimes you get paid, sometimes you don't," he was shocked. "It's just the way it is and always has been," musicians told him.
Jammber had to be a third-party platform, since musicians work with multiple labels and labels work with multiple musicians. The solution: a project management system that brings all collaborators together in one place. When musicians "check out" of a project, all the paperwork is immediately generated, ready to sign from a phone or desktop. With this technology, musicians can get paid in 48 hours rather than every two to twelve weeks, or never.
"Jammber is growing as fast as we are because of Nashville. Every person we have met has introduced us to five to ten others. If you take care of this community, it will take care of you."

What's the best part of being an entrepreneur? "For me, what's most rewarding about being an entrepreneur is creating great places to work. We have a saying here: the goal is profits, the reason is people." His advice for startups: take advantage of large companies' startup perks. Microsoft and Google both offer cloud credits through startup programs, sometimes worth $60,000 to $100,000 in free credits to get started.
