The Importance of Finding Users Before Building an MVP
Andrson.com allows musicians to deliver their music to top A&R, managers, and promoters and get discovered by their sound. Andrson is FREE for 2020—right now all features are unlocked!
Join me in discussion with founder Zach Miller-Frankel from Andrson as we talk about B2B and B2C strategies, normalising marketing channels and the importance of knowing your target audience early on in your business.
“We thought it was perfect, being first-time tech founders but shockingly it wasn’t! But we took that time to redevelop, do more interviews, build out functionalities. When we relaunched in June, the only thing we did was exhale very very deeply.”
Andrson is the solution to the music industry’s largest problem—digital A&R. Our A&R platform uses predictive analytics and audio AI to link unsigned, unmonetized talent with music industry professionals.
So whether a music exec is looking for a guitarist who riffs like Eddie or a singer who belts like Arianna, Andrson saves time, frustration, and resources in the search for undiscovered artists.
