Hello World: A Quick Update
Yesterday we started the private beta of the new nextbigsound.com. We’ve been testing the site since it’s very early stages with a great group of people that have provided awesome feedback and it’s at a point now where we can let more people in while we refine the product and make sure everything is stable.
We haven’t talked too much about what we’ve been building this summer at TechStars, and until we fully launch we’re going to keep relatively quiet. With that said, the current sign up page pretty much sums things up, “Actionable Intelligence for the Music Industry”.
If you’re in the music industry and interested in helping us test the new site please email us or make repeated attempts to guess the invite code.
TechStars ends for the summer in 10 days. It’s amazing how quickly it’s gone and I apologize for not keeping this blog updated more regularly. We’ve been heads-down working on the product and talking to customers, but as soon as we’re out of beta expect a lot more updates.
Also, the video series ‘The Founders’ is a weekly webisode documentary style show on everything happening at Techstars that’s followed our journey all summer. It’s a pretty great look at both TechStars and Next Big Sound. A new episode is coming out today at noon and you can watch past episodes at techstars.org/thefounders.
Until next time,
David
