Smart Vinyl [Startup]

Smart Vinyl is a new format of physical music that allows owners to unlock album experiences with their smartphones and artist-branded toys and collectibles.

Problem: Artists and labels rely on companies that do not sell music (DSPs) to sell their music. In the US alone, nearly 40M music consumers are so desperate for physical music that they buy unusable products. Apple has not sold a device with CD player capabilities for 8 years. There is a 200M unit deficit in global vinyl record production capabilities.

Opportunity: Help reinvent how the world interacts with music.
