The challenge

Music creators lacked a collaborative platform that used AI to enhance rather than replace their creative process. Existing tools were either too simple or too complex, with no AI integration that respected the creative workflow.

Our approach
  • Co-founded the company and built the full product from zero

  • Designed and engineered the platform with AI-powered collaboration features

  • Iterated rapidly based on user feedback from early adopters

  • Achieved Slush Top 50 recognition through product quality and traction

The outcome

Vandall reached 1,500 users with 40.9% month-1 retention — a strong signal for a music platform. Selected for Slush Top 50, validating the product-market fit. The platform demonstrates AI as a creative enhancer, not a replacement.
