Road map - Viberate
Start
MARCH 2013 - Testing the market - Topdeejays.com
We tested the market with a simple DJ ranking service named Topdeejays.com. With the help of our users, we've rapidly grown from a directory of a couple of thousands DJs to a massive database of more than 50.000 musicians.
APRIL 2015 - Going all in - Viberate
After the success of Topdeejays.com, we decided to actively pursue the idea of digitalizing the live music industry. We expanded the team, opened a designated Viberate office and developed a detailed project plan. To enable project monetization, we started planning the implementation of different business models.
