How Notey's World is Solving the 90% Dropout Problem in Music Learning
Manage episode 479763799 series 3596160
Meet Mak Grgic, founder of Notey's World, who's tackling a universal challenge: 90% of people who try learning guitar eventually quit. In this investment pitch, Mak showcases how his Techstars-backed startup transforms musical instruments into actual game controllers, creating an addictive learning experience that's seeing unprecedented user retention—67% at day 90 compared to the industry's measly 2%. With $207,000 in first-year revenue and school partnerships already spanning multiple states, Notey's custom AI technology adapts to each student's specific learning gaps. Parents are witnessing months of progress in just weeks as children suddenly can't wait to practice. The platform's proprietary automatic level generator can transform any song into a personalized game world, complete with notes that control jumping blimps and characters avoiding obstacles. With Grammy artists like Stewart Copeland from The Police signing on as affiliates, Mak explains why this $8 million valuation seed round might be your chance to join the reinvention of music education.
