Company description
GIG GUIDE SF ('Gig Guide' on droids) is a free app available on Iphone & androids. The app is a mobile live music guide for San Francisco & the Bay Area. We would like to expand the brand to L.A., NYC, CHI, Austin, ATL, Las Vegas and many more cities. It is currently produced and updated daily by a small independent SF based company. The app has killr independent feel, functions great, is relevent, useful and is getting excellent feedback & users continue to come back multiple times.
The core of the app is that it features all the live music in the city tonight & this week. The app is connected to Google Maps which shows each venue in each neighborhood and a brief description. It has twitter/flickr/picasa updates too and also users can connect their twitter or facebook accounts. We have the ability to incorporate YouTube & Livestream videos.
The app has a ton more features, so download it yourself and check it out. We'll upload a video to this profile soon. Below are some of our social media links.

Team
I'm a lover of music and love to create but have a business background in selling foreign currency.
Business model
- Build a cool mobile brand
- Repeat what is working in SF
- Get enough downloads to start selling advertising
- Sell tickets to shows
- Sell priority listings to venues
- Sell merchandise such as t-shirts etc.
- Eventually turn it into a mobile TV channel (kinda like a version of what MTV was when it first started)
Competitive advantage
- The 'gigguide' brand is here.
- Not many are doing what we are doing and nobody looks as killr as we do.
