Nasdisc의 사업 내용

Nasdisc is a marketplace for the $4B worth of records purchased every year. The vinyl market has seen exponential growth in the past decade - the first 6 months of this year has already seen an increase of 108% in sales. Our platform takes a 12% cut, making this a $400mm opportunity that is more than doubling every year. Pressing plants are backed up years out, bots buy limited releases in seconds, and record prices are skyrocketing in both retail and aftermarket sales. Despite this growth, the only dedicated marketplace is difficult to use, doesn’t process transactions, yet facilitates over $600mm in vinyl exchanges per year. This is why I finally decided to quit my job at Google and recruit my best friends from college to fix it. We’re all software engineers and have been passionate about music and vinyl since we were kids, and have $50k in records ourselves. We started building a marketplace in July and launched our website 4 weeks ago. We now have $1k / week in sales, and $50k in listings.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

A marketplace for vinyl, cassettes and cds

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

We're building an online marketplace focused on vinyl records, cassettes, and CDs. Users can list and buy physical music media securely with payments processed through our platform, solving the problem of a fragmented, inefficient secondary market.

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

We live in San Francisco and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent pool and community to support building Nasdisc, especially since we are all local and connected to the tech and music scenes here.

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Nasdisc의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Nasdisc과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
