A music platform
built like a patent office.
Jen is the generative-music product of Futureverse, an Auckland-based AI company co-founded by Shara Senderoff (named to Rolling Stone's "Future 25" and Billboard's "40 Under 40," previously co-founded blockchain venture fund Raised In Space with Scooter Braun) and Aaron McDonald. Founding partner: Mike Caren. The research foundation is JEN-1, a waveform-based latent diffusion model whose papers have been cited by Meta FAIR, Sony AI, and Bytedance AI.
The design choice that defines Jen is the refusal to scrape. While competitors trained on whatever was on the open web and worried about consequences later, Jen committed early to licensed catalogs only — over 40 partnerships before launch. The Root Network and FuturePass are how that commitment becomes machine-readable: every track gets a hash, a timestamp, a token, and a public record that no one disputes later.
What we'd flag honestly: Jen does not currently generate vocals — outputs are instrumentals only, by design. The product is in alpha, so feature pace and quality will keep changing. There's a learning curve around FuturePass, Root Network, and XLS-20 NFTs that's friction for users who just want music. And Jen is a paid platform; pricing details live on the official site.
