Tom is a fellow MBA student and a good friend of mine. He also happens to be one of the best guitar players I know, which he should be as he went to undergrad to study classical guitar. Tom spent a lot of time in NYC gigging, while also working a full-time job. He said that it was a lot of work finding and emailing different venues. They all ask for:
List of places you’ve played
# of followers
# of likes
Activity on social media
He tried using promoters but found that some of them were sketchy; they would call the day of the event and say, "by the way, you have to bring 50 people or you have to pay the venue" etc.
Tom thought a service like ours would fill a large void and that he would definitely pay for it, as he spent a great deal of time doing the work that our site would do for him.
Key Takeaway: The promoters being sketchy wasn't something I considered - we should look more into it.
