How it works
The crowd books the night.
Four moves. No managers, no middlemen, no empty rooms.
01 · Vote
Fans vote bands onto stages
One free vote per fan per venue per month. Trending demand pings the venue directly.
02 · Match
Venues and bands connect
Smart matching by genre, draw size, and distance. Built-in messaging and rider tools.
03 · Fund
Fans crowdfund the show
All-or-nothing. Stripe escrow. Auto-refund if the goal isn't hit. Stretch goals add openers.
04 · Show up
Real shows. Real proof.
Door reports, reviews, EPK. Bands invoice the difference. Everyone gets paid.
The whole product · 23 routes
Every surface a touring band, venue, fan, and brand needs.
Built end-to-end. Tap any tile to open the live surface.
Music is a primitive
Every band, one tap from playing.
Tap any band, anywhere — feed, profile, search result — and a 5-second preview plays inline. The waveform is the scrubber. Cards subtly react to the bass.

FAQ · the stuff we get asked
Real answers.
Daytona's scene is real but underserved. The seasonal events — Bike Week, Biketoberfest, the 500 — produce the kind of demand spikes that stress-test every part of the product. Easier to dominate, faster word-of-mouth.
All-or-nothing. The show only happens if enough fans pledge. We hold pledges in Stripe escrow — your card is held, not charged, until the goal is hit. If it fails, no charge. If it funds, the band gets paid in advance and the room is guaranteed.
Starter is $9/mo with limits. Touring is $29/mo and unlocks everything you need to actually tour and sell merch. Founding 30 bands in Daytona get Touring free for 6 months. Pro is $79/mo for managers / agents.
Yes. Free signup, free profile, free Open Slots board, free door check-in, free door reports. We make money on the band/fan side — venues are the inventory we want to maximize.
Stripe Connect. Every band, venue, vendor, and sponsor has their own Connect Express account. Crowdfund payouts, merch revenue, invoice payments, sponsor settlements, and tour routing all flow through it. We never touch the funds.
It's auto-generated from your profile — bio, music, members, press quotes, stage plot, tech specs, recent shows, contact. Bookers love it because it's always live, downloadable as PDF, and lives at /epk/<your-band>.
Expansion along the Florida coast — St. Augustine, Jacksonville, New Smyrna, Cape Canaveral, Orlando. We expand by full scene, not by individual band or venue, so the network effects compound.
Pre-seed, opening soon. If you're an investor focused on creator economy, local commerce, or marketplaces — reach out. Otherwise the only thing we want from you is a vote on your favorite band.
