Problem
Many music fans want to support the artists they listen to on Spotify, but the current streaming model provides limited financial returns for artists, especially independent musicians. Existing methods for supporting artists often require active, manual donations, creating a barrier for fans who prefer a more passive approach.
Solution
MyPie is an automated micro-donation platform that allows Spotify users to financially support the artists they stream. By connecting a Spotify account, users can allocate a customizable monthly budget, or "Pie," which is then automatically distributed to the artists they listen to based on their streaming activity. The platform tracks listening habits, calculates each artist's share of the user's "Pie" based on a "LISTEN-TIME-FACTOR," and distributes funds accordingly. MyPie aims to provide a seamless way for fans to support their favorite artists, ensuring that money flows directly to those they listen to most.
Target Audience
MyPie primarily targets Spotify users who are passionate about music and want to support the artists they listen to in a convenient, automated way.
