Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…

Our own savings and Eastlabs.co, a business incubator.
The real pain about starting a business in Ukraine is…
Dealing with local taxes and laws. The legal system is not ready for a startup ecosystem and electronic commerce yet. Also, the music market is not really big.
The person that inspires us is…
There are many. Among musicians Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Feist. Among entrepreneurs Richard Branson and Maurice Benyovszky. We also get inspired every day by our mentors and partners – Eveline Buchatskiy, Olga Belkova, Ken Leaver and Kirill Gichunts.
The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is…
MailChimp because we love sending out good news to our customers.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
The bottle of very good scotch we are saving for a special day. We’d get very upset if we never get to open it.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
Just translate the site and start scaling as soon as possible. That’s everything you need to conquer new markets.
The one thing that will make us quit is…

Our inside joke is…
Take equity in exchange for food 🙂

We’ll call ourselves successful when…
