remixing music discovery
setting the scene
you’re in the car with your friends and it’s your turn to take the aux 🚗
it’s been a minute since you’ve updated your playlists, so you panic and shuffle “Today’s Hits” 🔀
no one approves of your predictable music selection 🤦🏻♀️
this week’s company hopes to constantly keep the playlist fresh, allowing users to discover new music and get inspired by others

due diligence
what we like
✅ dilution solution: a new song is uploaded to Spotify every second
Discz helps users cut through the noise of the crowded platform
🔎 demand for discovery: music streamers have spent billions of hours listening to Spotify’s personalized “Discover Weekly” playlist
📻in tune with their audience: Discz offers song samples for Gen Z’s shorter attention spans and demonstrates an understanding of their social focus
potential risks
🚫 Spotify only: by sticking to one streaming platform, Discz fails to reach about 70% of listeners
☝️one hit wonders: several social music platforms have come and gone
Discz must innovate with its users’ needs to dominate music discovery
🔧technical difficulties: with an explosion of users, Discz has struggled with tech difficulties; these must be addressed to keep users hooked
