About downtown App INC
We are a consumer tech and entertainment business that’s soon launching an app called Downtown in early 2023. Entertainers will be able to build their own virtual bars and host exciting events. The social platform replicates a night out where users can join personalized communities, immerse themselves in experiences, and enjoy quality leisure time.
Silver Lining
We founded Downtown during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past two years, we have connected with creators to learn about their struggles with current online platforms.
We found that current platforms don’t offer a complete experience, and long-form content is challenging to create. Also, musicians don’t typically make most of their money from the door, and people are not attending live concerts for a variety of reasons. Our mission was to solve these issues and make a real difference.
Therefore, we developed a ‘build-a-bar toolkit,’ which is tailored to the needs of creators, allowing them to customize their own virtual experiences to connect with their audiences.
Traveling Market
In the meantime, we have been hosting in-person events. Our ‘traveling market’ included an event in Moncton, NB, in July, and we organized an event in St. John’s, NL, in October, which featured vendors, live entertainment, and network meet-ups. It’s enabled our team to interact with the community and bring the downtown experience to life.
The Team
Our small team of three consists of Meghan, our CEO, in Newfoundland; Beth, our COO, in New Brunswick; and Darren, our CTO, in Ottawa. We operate online and have joined an incubator program in Moncton, NB.
We are currently targeting the Atlantic Canada market. However, as we grow and refine our platform, we will enter the Canadian and, eventually, the global market. Please click this link to learn more about our concept and some of the virtual events we hosted.
The downtown App INC Difference
One aspect that makes us second to none is that our platform aims to solve the problems of musicians, entertainers, photographers, content creators, and local businesses when growing their online audiences.
We also focus on providing new ways for everyday users to connect online through micro-interactions. It’s suitable for people feeling disconnected, lonely, drained from current platforms, and looking for new experiences. It’s also for people who want options for how they enjoy events and those who wish to connect and meet new people.
Bridging the gap
What sets us apart from similar platforms is that we bridge the gap between the virtual and real worlds by remaining community-focused and providing a new revenue stream for artists, entertainers, and businesses. We also create fresh, engaging content that doesn’t encourage endless, mindless scrolling.
Awards and Accolades
One of our most significant achievements has been overcoming obstacles and breaking into the industry as a women-led tech start-up. We are proud that Meghan and Beth got featured as two of Atlantic Business Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Innovators in Fall 2021.
We also received financial backing from MusicNL, along with marketing and networking support. It allowed us to connect with an extensive network of local musicians and reach more creators to learn about their needs and gain initial users for our platform’s ‘creator mode.’
Future Vision
Our dream for the future is to create a space where individuals feel they are gaining value every time they enter our platform. While the online space opens up a new world of opportunities for making connections, many online platforms have made people around the globe feel more isolated than ever.
Therefore, we want to be a part of the solution where individuals feel like they can get back to utilizing online spaces to foster positive connections and feel closer to their favorite creators.
In addition, we are incredibly excited about what’s in store for creators by providing new revenue streams.
