Co-founder — Product, Quant & Business Architecture
Bridge the gap between technology, quantitative models, and business strategy — from predictive yield forecasting and margin engines to marketplace economics.
1. Our Mission
The music and live event ecosystems suffer from misaligned incentives and zero quantitative intelligence. Artists lose up to 30% of their direct sales to legacy platforms, while independent clubs take massive financial risks on bookings and ad spend without knowing what local audiences actually want.
Solpace unites direct-to-fan music commerce, audience intelligence, and live event operations into a single ecosystem — turning listener data into smarter bookings, fairer ticketing, and sustainable economics for the entire scene.
2. How We Do It (The Value We Create)
We connect the dots between digital listening habits and real-world venue economics across three sides of the marketplace:
For Venues & Organisers
Predictive demand & risk-free marketingOur Yield Forecasting engine estimates ticket conversion in a 50km catchment area by matching artist sound profiles against local listener density and competing events. Organisers can also activate automated ad and affiliate campaigns governed by a real-time Net Margin Engine that caps downside risk.
For Artists & Labels
0% commission & programmable splitsCreators keep 100% of digital music, vinyl, and merch sales with instant multi-party Smart Splits at checkout, while using geographic fan density and route optimization to plan profitable tours.
For Fans
Fair resale & taste-driven discoveryPrice-capped waitlist ticket resale that eliminates scalpers, combined with music and event discovery rooted in actual sonic compatibility.
3. Why Join Now & What You Will Co-Own
Our public site with interactive product demos and waitlist is live at solpace.org, and the core platform is being built in React, Next.js, Express, and Python.
While the product vision is rich, our pricing tiers, marketplace unit economics, and quantitative B2B models are ready to be shaped, stress-tested, and refined. You step in at the exact moment where analytical rigor and product execution can define the company.
