Network Deal Hub presents
Music Breakthrough& Deal Readiness
From creative standstill to a clear, market-ready plan.
For artists, songwriters, producers and managers who feel creatively or commercially stuck — and are ready to move with intent.
01
Nothing generic
Your music. Your situation. Your next move.
We recognise the creative and strategic patterns that cause makers to get stuck. Together, we identify what is blocking you and what you need to move forward with focus.
No empty motivation or one-size-fits-all route — just honest feedback on the work and decisions in front of you now.
02
The programme
Creative work and business belong at the same table.
Every edition is built around a 60% fixed professional core and a 40% rotating theme. The foundation stays strong while the programme remains relevant to the market now.
Creative & A&R feedback
Focused feedback on songs, sound, repertoire, workflow and the choices that strengthen your creative identity.
Positioning & market strategy
Clarify who the work is for, what makes it distinctive and which route to market is realistic.
Rights & deals
Understand publishing, masters, roles and the questions to ask before signing.
Pitching & negotiation
Present your story convincingly, recognise key terms and enter conversations or negotiations better prepared.
90-day plan
Concrete actions, owners and decision points for the first 30, 60 and 90 days.
Rotating themed editions
The same strong core. A different focus every edition.
Before booking, you will see the edition theme, professionals, venue, date, duration and working language.

What you leave with
Not a folder of theory. A decision document you can use.
- A clear diagnosis of your creative and commercial bottleneck
- Focused feedback that you apply to your own music, plan or case
- A clear positioning and pitch direction
- A rights and deal checklist tailored to your situation
- A concrete 90-day plan with priorities
- One shared follow-up for the Intensive; an optional community follow-up for the Live Edition
Two open group formats
Small group — Intensive
6–8 participants, minimum 6. Everyone receives a personal hot seat. Pascal is joined by two guest professionals in a studio, boardroom or creative venue. One shared follow-up is included. First-edition launch price: €495 p.p.; regular edition: €695 p.p. Including 21% VAT.
Pre-register for the IntensiveLarge group — Live Edition
Open to individual enrolment, with 15–25 participants. Group exercises, breakouts, pitch rooms, an expert panel and 4–6 selected live cases mean not everyone receives an individual hot seat. Pascal leads the day with three specialist contributions. Everyone leaves with a personal 90-day plan; a community follow-up is optional. €395 p.p. including 21% VAT.

Who it’s for
Ambition is not enough. A willingness to look honestly is.
This fits when…
- you have strong work but feel stuck in direction or execution
- you want to prepare a release, pitch or negotiation professionally
- you can receive feedback and are willing to make choices
- you want more control over rights, roles and commercial agreements
This is less suitable when…
- you only want a quick introduction or guaranteed deal
- you will not share music, a plan or a concrete case
- you mainly want validation and are not willing to adjust
- you expect us to take over your release, streams or outcome

SOS — urgent music business support
I genuinely need help.
Are you facing a conflict, contract deadline, rights issue, payment problem or stalled negotiation? Share what is happening in confidence. We quickly map the situation and identify the most suitable professional route.
Initial assessment
We review urgency, documents, the parties involved and your objective, then advise which next step is substantively most appropriate.
Legal specialists
Where needed, and with your permission, we can involve experienced specialist lawyers. The lawyer makes separate agreements about advice, role and fees.
Facilitating between parties
Where both parties are willing, we can organise a guided conversation to clarify interests and explore workable agreements, in a process comparable to mediation.

Your work remains yours.
Confidential
Submitted music, plans and unreleased work are used only for assessment and support. We do not share anything externally without your permission.
Rights
Pre-registration or participation transfers no copyright, master right or other ownership. Our principle is that makers retain their rights wherever possible.
No guarantees
We do not promise a release, deal, streams, placement, funding, A&R meeting or introduction. We provide analysis, preparation and access where a genuine match exists.

Practical & FAQ
Clarity first. Payment second.
Where and when is the masterclass?
The date, venue and duration are confirmed per edition before payment. The Intensive takes place in a studio, boardroom or creative venue; the Live Edition preferably in a theatre or distinctive cultural location.
Can I enrol individually for the large group?
Yes. The Live Edition is an open edition where you can reserve an individual place. It runs from 15 participants and is capped at 25.
Does everyone receive a hot seat?
Everyone does in the Intensive. The Live Edition uses group exercises, pitch rooms, breakouts and 4–6 selected live cases. Every participant still creates a personal 90-day plan.
Which language is used?
Dutch or English. The language of each edition is stated in the invitation and confirmed before payment.
What are the cancellation terms?
The exact cancellation and substitution terms are shown per edition before payment and form part of your booking.
What are the masterclass prices?
The launch price for the first Intensive is €495 p.p.; the regular price afterwards is €695 p.p. The Live Edition is €395 p.p. All listed consumer prices include 21% VAT.
What is included in the community?
The €250 annual membership including 21% VAT includes access to the curated network and two community nights. There are also surprise video masterclasses: some completely free for members, others at a member rate announced in advance.
How does the SOS route work?
You describe the situation in confidence and state your deadline. We first check our role and any conflicts, assess which expertise is needed and agree scope and fees in advance. No legal or negotiation outcome is guaranteed.
Does book pre-registration commit me to anything?
No. Pre-registration is free, is not an order and creates no payment obligation. The intended 20% benefit for up to the first 1,000 valid pre-registrations applies only if the publisher can formally set and register the promotional price. All conditions are confirmed before purchase.
Will I get a deal or introduction?
No. We do not guarantee a release, deal, streams, A&R conversation or introduction. Network Deal Hub may mediate only where there is a strong substantive match.
Why is this part of Network Deal Hub?
Because creative development, rights, strategy and the right professional relationships are connected in practice. Network Deal Hub brings those parts together without promising access or results.
