For funders & advocates
Technology to make your music strategy a reality.
Music is vital to every city’s culture and identity but the local music industry can be fragmented and disorganized making it difficult to support.

Stagehand uses technology to help you support emerging artists, venues, placemaking and even downtown revitalization.
