Inspiration

We were inspired by challenges we've faced as musicians in collaborating with other artists. We also surveyed musicians for their biggest pain points and found that the market is lacking in a place where both professional and amateur musicians can collaborate together.

What it does

Genus provides a safe, secure place where musicians can collaborate with other musicians. The platform provides a place where musicians can find services for all their music needs.

How I built it

Our tech stack included React and Redux for the front-end, and Express, Node, Sequelize, and PostgreSQL for the back-end. We collaborated using Git and GitHub.

What I learned

We learned that not only is technology important but also having a strong business plan and demonstrating a gap in the marketplace. It was fantastic working with the mentors who brought so much insight.

What's next for Genus

We've created a feature roadmap so that Genus lives beyond the MVP features.

Apologies for the sound. The sound was downgraded when uploaded to YouTube. Here is another YouTube video with a demo of the prototype only: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqa-nIO-M9U

Thank you so much from the Genus team!
