Our next steps

• Increase the size of our music library, which is the fundamental value offered by the website.

• Consolidate our current feature set. Make use of generous feedback we got from reddit and from other early adopters.

• CROWDFUNDING project.

Crowdfunding project• The internet is heavily segmented according to

language. Only 11% of the world population speaks English.

• Classical music does not depend on a particular language, and is widely appreciated across most cultures and countries.

Crowdfunding idea

• Use Google Translate API to translate our database and website into 80 different most spoken languages.

• Use Google Youtube Data API to automatically create a Youtube channel for each of these languages, to capture initial audience.
