Live streaming community for music fans

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Streamup to let people live stream music videos and join a community around watching shows and chatting with musicians. Our platform focuses on making music streaming social and interactive, which existing tools overlook.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Santa Monica, CA, with some work done remotely. After YC, the company would remain based in Santa Monica where our team and creative music community are located.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Santa Monica puts us close to music scenes and creatives who love live music streaming. Remote work helps with flexibility but the base here keeps us connected to users and musical talent.
