Who We Are
GigStarr is the first end-to-end, artist-centric ecosystem that unites networking, gig discovery, and real-time collaboration into one seamless platform. Built specifically for musicians, producers, engineers, and industry professionals, GigStarr eliminates the fragmentation across platforms like Fiverr, SoundBetter, LinkedIn, and Vampr.
What Sets GigStarr Apart
- AI-powered gig matchmaking that aligns projects with skills, genre, and career goals.
- Real-time collaboration tools (virtual jam rooms and audio sharing) built directly into the platform.
- Community-first design: artist forums, mentorship, and partnerships with festivals, schools, and indie labels.
With the music industry projected to surpass $40B in live revenues by 2029 and the gig economy reaching $582.2B in 2025, GigStarr is uniquely positioned to capture the growing demand for music-specific freelancing tools. Our lean launch model requires $1M in seed funding, with revenue streams from subscriptions and brand partnerships. We project profitability by Year 3 with revenues scaling to $5M+ through aggressive user growth, viral marketing, and global expansion. Financials are available upon request.
