Client Story:
CommonEdits
Client Problem
CommonEdits is the brainchild of Matthew S. Lewis, a Texas-based music entrepreneur. The company was founded in 2015, although at that time the innovative streaming service was just a concept. Mr. Lewis knew that in order for people to understand his idea, he needed to present it in a way that enabled others to visualize and interact with it.
- While CommonEdits had the business model figured out, the vision of what the product should look like was not yet clear.
- Other music streaming companies had major advantages in the market, and CommonEdits had to differentiate somehow.
- CommonEdits needed a simplistic platform that would also allow local artists to connect and feel like part of a community.
CA Solution
After partnering with CommonEdits in February of 2016, Code Authority realized that Mr. Lewis’s idea was truly bigger than anyone could envision. Code Authority then invested wholeheartedly in CommonEdits, not asking for any cash in return — but instead asking to be a small part of this big idea.
- Code Authority created mockups to illustrate how the product would look and function, with variations for key decision-makers.
- Code Authority assisted CommonEdits in getting the concept in front of investors, and helped get the idea funded.
