In a streaming world obsessed with scale, Groupmuse is making a radical bet: that the future of classical music is in living rooms, not stadiums. With just 17 employees and $1.7M in revenue, they're not building a platform—they're rebuilding community.

"They're not competing with Spotify—they're creating an entirely new category that algorithms can't replicate."

The tech stack tells its own story. They're not using bleeding-edge frameworks but proven tools: jQuery, Bootstrap, and Tailwind CSS. This isn't a lack of ambition—it's a strategic choice. When your product is about human connection in physical spaces, over-engineering the digital layer becomes counterproductive. The real innovation isn't in the code; it's in the curation.

• Worker-owned structure aligns incentives with artists, not investors
• Direct traffic (55%) proves strong community loyalty despite low overall volume
• Artist-specific keywords indicate deep, niche audience engagement
• 17 employees generate $1.7M revenue—$100K+ per person
