Why we are building Shotgun
It’s all about context. Shotgun wouldn’t have existed 5 years ago. If it does now, it’s thanks to 3 key elements.
Since 2014, Shotgun's mission has been to put technology and innovation at the service of live music. We believe that traditional solutions no longer meet the needs of new generations and their consumption of music events. Shotgun is positioned as the platform that helps music event brands understand, develop and monetize their community.Our suite of features and services help thousands of promoters around the world build brand awareness, connect with their community, and create a virtuous model for peace of mind and financial autonomy.
2014 in Paris, an unlikely meeting between an introverted polytechnician, a south guy who organizes parties and a rock fan at Science Po, around a common observation: “Paris is boring” and the desire to remedy it.
A new creative generation was emerging then, but a bridge was missing to allow them to share with a craving public.
Shotgun was then born in the warehouses of the Parisian underground electronic scene and allowed new artists and event creators to go from a confidential audience to thousands of people. The first users of Shotgun quickly seized the product, and made it evolves with the scene.
Shotgun became the infrastructure between creators and the new generation of party-goers by becoming an underground event marketplace.
It’s all about context. Shotgun wouldn’t have existed 5 years ago. If it does now, it’s thanks to 3 key elements.
