Opportunity

Live music is one of the fastest growing sectors in the £4.5bn music industry. The 480k+ independent UK performances in 2018 had 9.5m visits. Gig-goers spend up to 50% more at the bar than other customers and venues are 3x more likely to go out of business without live shows. Gigride aims to offer a service to bring the UK’s estimated 500k bands, 130k music venues, and 30k promoters together in one online marketplace.

Business model

Our initial business model will be subscription-based for hosts, providing a decision support system (DSS). We’ve piloted two further revenue streams based on a % of bar takings and turnover from affiliate services. Gigride is initially focusing on capturing the bookings market before perfecting a longer-term business model. Building on the fundamental need of boosting live show potential for everyone, Gigride is designed as a one-stop shop for artists.

What is crowdfunding?

When you invest in equity you buy a percentage or share of a business in the hope that the value of the company will increase over time.

Gigride is SEIS & EIS approved, i.e. UK government shcemes designed to help startups raise finance, by offering a range of tax relief to investors who purchase new shares in those companies. These include Income Tax Relief, Capital Gains Tax exemption, and Loss Investment Relief. Learn more here
