Online music store with peer revenue sharing

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

We built Popcuts as a music store where fans buy DRM-free songs for 99 cents each, but with a twist: every time a song they previously purchased sells again, they get a share of the revenue. Early buyers earn a bigger cut, creating an incentive for fans to promote the music they like. This model aims to align incentives between artists and listeners, making music sales participatory.

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

We live in Lucerne Valley, CA, and Popcuts is currently based here. After YC, we would consider relocating or operating remotely, depending on what benefits the company most.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started Popcuts here because it's where we live and work, keeping operating costs low with a small team of two. YC would give us access to resources and connections we can't get here.
