I hope you’re staying safe during this crazy time.
Gigmor is raising money in a GoFundMe campaign. We’re taking this unusual step because Gigmor is more than just another business affected by this crisis: our platform can help thousands of musicians and venues get back on their feet. So with your help, Gigmor can make a big difference.
We’ve been working hard during the lockdown to be ready when venues and restaurants reopen:
- Local gigs at small to medium sized clubs will come back long before tours and larger venues.
- Our new one-click booking feature is an easier way to make multiple offers for bookers filling an empty calendar.
- Our Gigmor Live streaming channel has grown fast and we know now that live-streaming will always be a viable service we can offer to independent artists. Artists are making $100 for a one hour stream from their living room.
Depending on the city and state, booking activity is likely to resume in May and June. At that point we hope to resume the strong growth we saw in Q1 and will have more options for fundraising. Right now, we’re asking for your help to fund operations for the next 3-4 months.
How You Can Help
1. Donate to the Campaign
2. Share Gigmor’s GoFundMe campaign on social media.
This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
