Live concert discovery and tracking

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

We built a platform to help music fans track their favorite artists, discover concerts, and buy tickets all in one place. It aggregates millions of live music events globally and makes it easy for users to never miss shows they care about.

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

We live in England, United Kingdom, and the company is based there as well.

Being based in England keeps us close to a strong live music scene and lets us work with local artists and fans directly. It's also where we live and can best move fast as a small team.
