Product

frēstyl is a geolocalized, UGC platform (web/iPhone) that enables anyone (musicians, promoters, venues, music fans) to share info about upcoming concerts and build their reputation as local music scene insiders. Our goal is to create the first truly social music recommendation engine to enable the discovery of new music through the live experience and provide a direct-ticketing and door-management service for the event stakeholders.
