Audioland — AI Music Generation Plugin
Audioland (and its sibling project, Dubbing) existed to take speechki.com public on the Cyprus stock exchange — the plan required demonstrating real profit from speechki.com's neural-network products. The startup didn't make it, not for lack of product, but because of OpenAI's plugin monetization policy: "plugins could not be monetized before, during, or after operation" — meaning not at all.
How a Cyprus IPO actually pays out
Taking speechki.com public meant more than good numbers — it meant walking this exact sequence, where only one party's payday is fixed and everyone else is betting on where the market lands.
- Show at least $50K in real, audited profit
- Spin the IP into a fresh holding entity, clean of the old investor cap table
- An independent audit sets the company's valuation and verifies its books
- A broker buys the shares at a discount to that valuation — this is the company's actual payday
- Shares start trading freely on the exchange — the company never sees another cent from that
An independent audit estimated the company's value at $150,000
The market eventually valued the company at $150,000
