At some point I made this rough design of the site. I convinced some friends to give us a little bit of money. In the fall of 2005, I met Yancey Strickler, and we became fast friends. Once back in New York, I started to try and tackle the next steps: Who could build the website? How much it would cost? Where could I get money? I talked to a bunch of folks and I learned a ton. In the spring of 2005 I moved back home to NYC, knowing it would be much more possible there. Yet slowly over the next few years I started to work on the idea more and more. I loved the idea, but I was focused on making music, not starting an internet company.
I thought: “What if people could go to a site and pledge to buy tickets for a show? And if enough money was pledged they would be charged and the show would happen. The fact that the potential audience had no say in this decision stuck uncomfortably in my brain.
