Tangible Instruments raised $94,713 on Kickstarter in 2015 to build a pocket melody machine. It shipped to backers in November 2024. Here is what took so long, and why people still wanted it.
CrowdVolt is a New York-based, Y Combinator-backed marketplace that lets fans buy and sell tickets to live events - starting with raves and EDM concerts - through a bid-ask model similar to StockX. Buyers name the price they are willing to pay, sellers set an ask, and trades clear automatically when the two meet. The platform handles secure payments and automated ticket transfers to cut fraud, inflated fees, and the opacity of the traditional resale market.
