You're right. It would be beneficial to add some human identity. I also understand the concern about the missing privacy policy. I'll plan on adding this!

Thanks! And yes, that is one of the major hurdles right now. Currently, we're working on tapping into our personal, music industry networks to start the first round of performer signups. Right now, we're basically in a "gathe

I think one way to get around this would be to show the venues the money has already been made. This includes the price of tickets. If there are ticketing deals involved, it could be something like a straight cash exchange: We have 100 peop

Thanks for checking it out! The search by area idea makes a lot of sense. Finding artists on the site currently seems to be one of the biggest challenges for users who are testing RoadPony. We do have plans for showcasing artists in the fut

Hey thanks for the feedback! RoadPony would be step 3.5 in this sequence. I'll try to explain how it's intended to help. It isn't meant to solve all logistical hurdles when it comes to touring but rather give agencies/ar
