You have strengths in...

• numbers, data and logic
• design and visuals
• pushing and getting things done
• structuring and strategic thinking

We empower musicians with complete ownership of their art, enabling them to control their financial gains and forge genuine connections with fans and venue owners.

Building an MVP that consists of 3 top features:
- Live video streaming platform, as we live in the age of video communication
- Automation of social media sharing, content editing, tour planning
- Payment options, merch sell and royalties


Technical skills required:
- Quarkus (Java)
- React & TypeScript
- MSSQL
- NodeJS
- Docker Environment
- Cloud Environment (Azure, AWS, ...)
- Media Servers (e.g. Kurento)
- Fluent in English, and other language is a plus
- Familiarity with App development is a big plus (Android, iOS)
- Familiarity with Blockchain, DeFi, NFT, Web3, Metaverse is a big plus (for possible decentralization & payments).
- Familiarity with AI / ML is a big plus (for automation on the platform)

By working together, we will become pioneers in the enormous music market (49 billion by 2028), with possible and probable use of ML/AI, as well as, the Web3 and Blockchain technologies. At the beginning, the focus will be more on the centralized environment and automation of processes, but we can aim to incorporate decentralized solutions to our environment as well. By using the best of both worlds, we will create a hybrid solution that will benefit our users greatly.

The position is not a paid one, however, by working together we can benefit from existing Start-Up Incubators and City/Government Startup Funds, that can provide us with finances (up to 12 months), office space, connections (investors) and mentorship.
When the Start-Up takes off and it disrupts the market, there will be a huge opportunity to benefit from it and profit together with our end users. I don't mean only financially, because, we will also benefit from sense of accomplishment, helping and providing opportunities. Together, we will make sure of it.

My biggest focus now is to find a tech co-founder (ideally full-stack and based in Berlin) that can help me build my vision, especially when it comes to coding. All other things related to product and user/market research I can do.
I need a person that can be my sparring partner, brainstorm with me, to challenge and motivate each other, a fanatic like me (meaning: being all in, making it happen, not being afraid to fail, take risk against all odds, never use "can't" word).
As a next step, we can decide together, who else we should bring on board as we grow bigger.
