| Hidden Bands | We put bands on the map. Our free music discovery app brings users into the real world to find exclusive music and engage with artists. Users download our free app, and similar to Pokémon GO they follow a map to capture exclusive free music. We then link the song to the artist's streaming (Spotify, Apple Music) and social platforms (YouTube,IG,Bandcamp) to consume more of the artist's content.Users are rewarded to re-hiding songs in new locations and artists receive full analytics into song plays at a hyper geographic level. Artists use this info to plan tours. Unlike Spotify and YouTube we also allow artists to email users directly inside our app.The app is free for both users and artists and complements existing streaming and social platforms by solving the problem of discoverability in a fun gamified way. |  | Seed | Oct 01, 2021 |  |
