This panel will explore the promise and the reality of building and growing a startup in music tech – the good, the bad and the ugly. We'll cover topics such as moving from idea to business model, from business model to customer discovery, to product development, to business creation and growth. Across this spectrum, we'll discuss the opportunities and challenges of innovation in the music industry, forming partnerships with majors, tackling the tough problems of licensing, data sharing and the like. The goal is to present a complete picture, warts and all, informing attending entrepreneurs and industry players, alike, with information that helps us all build a more vibrant, viable music tech startup community. In addition to the industry-specific matters noted above, we'll also look at how to solve the pressing problems of bootstrapping versus raising capital, developing the right product for the right market, acquiring first customers and scaling.
