Laylo
The CRM powering iconic musicians and events
We build Laylo, a platform that combines landing pages, messaging, link tracking, and other tools into one CRM tailored for musicians and event promoters. It helps artists and their teams coordinate drops - like new music releases or ticket sales - to maximize streams, sales, and fan engagement around those key moments.
We live in Los Angeles and the company is based here, but our team works remotely as well. After YC, we plan to stay headquartered in LA with a remote team.
LA is the heart of entertainment, which is who we serve. Being close to musicians, managers, promoters gives us direct access to our users and the culture shaping music drops. Remote work lets us scale talent beyond the city when needed.
