Figure out the music industry and find your place in it. There should be more than a handful of possible buyers. Don't forget the value of the data you sit on / will be sitting on. It might feed up to managers/labels etc. Especially talk to the guys from BigChampagne about that. Go talk to Ian Rogers from Topspin (although I'm not sure if he has a competing product), Eric Garland from LiveNation/BigChampagne, Matt Sandler from Chromatik .. find someone that can navigate you through the industry. Who's on your platform more? Fans or Bands? Both groups can be catered to. Figure out which one holds more value. Make it easy for artists to sell music. And try to find people who have enough from mainstream music and want to support local/smaller bands/artists. Take transaction fees? Hooking up smaller venues with talent? Let me know if you need an intro to someone.. Music tech should be fun :) Enjoy!
