YNK

Hey everyone,

I’m George, the founder of **YNK (You Never Know)** — a swipe-based music discovery platform designed to instantly connect independent music artists and composers with industry scouts, curators, and avid listeners.

Think "Tinder meets SoundCloud" for uncovering fresh talent across all musical genres (from indie rock and electronic to hip-hop and classical).

### 🛠️ The Tech & Stack:

* **The Stack:** Built using Lovable (React, Tailwind CSS, Supabase backend). The code is completely clean, hosted, and production-ready.

* **Status:** Fully functional MVP. Features separate onboarding paths for Composers, Listeners, and Scouts.

* **The Interface:** Designed for quick audio swiping, making music discovery addictive and highly visual.

### 💰 The Monetization Blueprint:

I want to target the B2B/Industry side first. While listeners and musicians join for free, our core revenue model relies on **Premium Scout Subscriptions**. Industry scouts and A&Rs will pay a monthly fee to unlock:

1. Unlimited swiping and deep filtering (by specific genres, mood, or location).

2. Direct messaging channels to scout and sign composers before anyone else.

### ❓ What I Need in a Partner:

I am managing the product build entirely through Lovable, but I need a **Growth Marketer / Business Co-Founder** to take over user acquisition and monetization strategy. Your primary focus will be:

* Growth-hacking organic content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) to bring musicians to the platform.

* Reaching out to indie curators, small record labels, and scouts to convert them into premium users.

### 💼 The Deal:

I am looking for an equal equity partner who is passionate about music tech and the creator economy. If you know how to build a community and drive a B2B SaaS subscription funnel from 0 to 1, let's connect!
