TECH STACK & APPROACH

We’re a small, focussed team. We use Heroku, AWS and a suite of SaaS tools to do big things.

Huge fans of Agile and Lean Startup methodologies, our iteration cycle is fast. We discuss, plan, build, measure and learn constantly - this is lean from the trenches!

COMPANY CULTURE

Because we are keen to grow swiftly helping more musicians in more cities, we expect people to get things done efficiently – and to dive into help others whether a specific task is their ‘role’ or not. Also to learn from – and make changes as a result of - feedback from one another and our community.
