Hacking YC After Being Rejected - MELD, the GitHub for music
2 comments
I actually applied to YC with a similar idea a year or two ago, but we didn't have a product yet. My team came entirely from art school, where we definitely see a market for an app like this. Maybe in the future even consider expanding to more than just music--you can include visual arts as well, like graphic design, film, even something like dance!
Best of luck!

We've been rejected from YC a couple times, but we think we have a hack to get in. Some background, we're the founders of SoundBrush, an iPad app that lets you draw music. To date, we have 300k+ downloads, with thousands of dollars in app sales; yet we realize this is not a billion dollar opportunity. From our experience in the industry, and from talking to our users we've identified that the true opportunity lies in the discovery and collaboration of creative content. This is how MELD was born.
MELD is the GitHub for music.
It allows musicians, producers, and fans to track and comment on all stages of music creation.
We would love your feedback on our MVP at mymeld.com
