Investor DJs everywhere, right here!
tl;dr We’d like you to join the family. Invest in Chew today!
Looking back on the last twelve months, it’s hard to believe how much we’ve achieved.
This time last year, early December 2014, Ben and I were a month into our Ignite experience at Campus North in Newcastle — and a whole month away from launching Chew.
Fast forward to now. Things have changed.
Chew — the DJs’ live streaming community — went live on January 5th.
Today, eleven months later, we have over 18,000 DJs, record labels, radio stations, music producers, music fans and more in our community.
We’ve had press in some of the greatest publications out there — The Guardian, TechCrunch and more.
And, while we’re a now full-time team of three based in London, the wider Chew family is a global one. We have users in over 130 countries, and our audience is in over 190.
Our users have created over 8,000 hours of content and our audience has watched over 35,000 hours back.
So far this year, we’ve broadcast from Barcelona rooftops with DJ Mag, helped launch albums with Universal Music TV and partnered with educational facilities like SSR to work with the freshest DJ and production talent. We’re also working with DJs from the world-famous BBC Radio 1Xtra and record labels like RAM Records.
Our users and audience are what makes the Chew platform. Put simply, without our community, Chew wouldn’t be what it is today.
We’ve made great progress with Chew over the last year, but we’re just getting started. And we’d like the community’s help going forward.
That’s why we’re crowd-funding our latest investment round, opening the Chew business up to our users and audience around the world.
Invest in Chew on Seedrs today
We want our users and audience members to support what we’re building. By investing directly into the business, our users will be helping us achieve our efforts to build the world’s first open live streaming platform for DJs, musicians and music fans. Our crowdfunding investors get the same rights as our current Angel investors (pre-emption rights, tax relief for UK investors and so on), but are able to invest anything from £10.
While investing in early stage companies has an inherent risk, and takes a considerable amount of time to see a return (if, in fact, you do), we’d like to think Chew’s investment track record speaks for itself. Since our time on Ignite, we’ve raised £141,000 of investment and the business’ share price has tripled in value (since this time last year).
So if you’re a Chew user or you’ve watched Shows our users have created, or if you’re a DJ, producer or music fan, we’d love your support.
