Where We Started
Idea for a way to connect different kinds
of artists together
Wanted to find space within a local venue
for a collaborative environment
Many different tangents and possibilities
stemming from this broad hunch
Realized that pivoting to a social media
platform made the most sense
Progress Since Idea Conception
Idea Refinement Survey Local Artist Outreach
Started with a very broad After distributing a survey Reaching out to local
and early stage hunch and and receiving feedback we artists who team members
worked extensively with got a better idea of who our are already in contact with
the 6 variables to make it customer demographic is. to determine their interest
more feasible. in and ideas about our
service.

Venue Contact Pivot of BIG IDEA

Made contact with Yes!, a
new, all-ages venue in
Bham. Representatives are
interested in pursuing a
collaborative art space in
the future.
We collectively decided to
focus on creating a social
media platform, rather
than immediately working
with a physical venue
space.
Is It Worth Pursuing?
We believe this idea is worth pursuing,
because:
There is a local customer base
Artists are interested in collaboration with other
artists
We have a great support team
belief that we can find new members for website
development
Other subs. and alts. arent providing our service
