Announcement Content:

Since launching on the 15th of January 2016, Gigger has hit several major targets. It's had over 200 signups, bringing its user base up to 336. With over 280 bands using the platform, Gigger has found clear traction and validation for the band side of its market. Further validation has also come in the form of minor revenue, giving an indication that users find the opportunity to get gigs compelling enough to pay for it. As we increase engagement with the promoter and venue side of the market, we expect the average revenue per band to increase significantly.

We're also proud to announce the addition of Jeremy Hart to the Gigger team. Former founder of Deadwalk Bookings, an events & band management company that worked on tours and shows with domestically and internationally renowned acts.

Meanwhile Gigger has been featured on sites such as StompStart, Launching.io, and been listed as one of the Founder Institute's fastest growing Australian startups.

Anthony Manning-Franklin

Currently developing a real-world analytics platform and helping people solve tough problems with web apps. In 2012 I founded Farugi to empower independent musicians by enabling them to control how they monetise their music. We did this by building a social music distribution platform. It was insanely fun and equally challenging. I developed technologies such as custom recommendation engines, real time social experiences incorporating news feeds, comments, and messaging. All of which worked alongside a dynamic music and merchandise marketplace populated by products that were listed and supplied by the artists themselves. Prior to launching Farugi, I had been working within the music industry for over 10 years, beginning as a performer and promoter but primarily as a sound engineer and producer. In 2007 I opened Midas Touch Studios and over the next 6 years I worked with artists such as Screaming Life, Michael Swann, The Red Paintings, Tempest Rising and many more. I’ve had my work aired on over 200 radio stations internationally.
