Ampwall

Ampwall is an e-commerce and community platform that helps music scenes thrive. We help artists sell directly to fans, help fans find more music that they love, and help everyone within the music scene make more meaningful connections so they can thrive together.

Problem

Music platforms think of artists and fans as separate pillars: artists sell, fans consume. In reality, the relationships are more complex: music communities are complex webs full of dynamic relationships that transcend commerce. Ampwall, a Public Benefit Company founded by lifelong musicians, builds a platform that invites in not just people making sound and people consuming it, but the entire music scene. We enable the direct sales of music and merch, pages and profiles that make artists happy, and countless ways for different members of music scenes to create organic connections that help translate real world connections to the digital domain. We're a Public Benefit Company that builds features we ourselves use, so we come at everything from a position of "what will make everyone happiest" more than "what will make us the most money."

Solution

Our core product allows members of music scenes to create pages where they can sell, build mailing lists, catalog their releases, and create links between various other people and artists to tell the stories of who they are and how they're connected. Most similar to Bandcamp we offer lower transaction fees, better looking pages, more ways to connect with and promote your friends and other projects, and a strong community that exists to help support each other.
