ShareSquare- Music Like Never Before!

ShareSquare launched its beta version last month, with the announcement that they completed a first closing of $150,000 on a $500,000 seed round. Participating angels include Paige Craig the Adrenaline-fueled

Angel, John Frankel of ff Asset Management, Jeff Miller, and Roy Rodenstein of HackerAngels.


What Is ShareSquare?

I found a ton of high tech information online. It included a lot of words that I didn't know. I tried to decipher it for you!


ShareSquare is a platform for users to support the bands and brands they love. Using a type of scan code (QR CODE), artists and promoters can upload anything from a posters to a sticker and more. The app gives the user a specific QR code corresponding to a mobile web app.


By scanning the QR code, another user can immediately experience a music video, download tracks and apps, winprizes, join mailing lists, one-click Like and Tweet, and (coming soon) make purchases.


I found the "Like Lock" feature to be very interesting. This features enables users to click a Facebook Like button and get access to exclusive content, downloads or contests. Looking at this feature from a promotional stand point, this will give artists exposure with minimal effort from fans. No longer does a artist have to hope their fans like their music enough to remember to go onto Facebook, find their page and click "Like." The fan is able to click one button and an instant update is posted spreading their activity to their friends.

From what I have seen of this company it is one to keep an eye on. You can find out the background story of ShareSquare here, I found it very interesting and inspiring!
