I'm your host Maxim Davis, and today on Seeking startups, we have Marc LaManque, the co-founder of Cadenzo.
At the young age of 7, Marc knew that he wanted to become a musician and, specifically, a piano player. Even though his parents were skeptical, they provided him with support and resources. Before long, Marc was occupied in the music world. In middle school, Marc was doing gigs and performing in bands. And by high school, he was the lead in the school's musical. At this point, Marc really thought he had found his calling. But Marc's openness and drive eventually lead him down a different path. A path where entrepreneurship was at the core. Finally, these two worlds collided when Marc, alongside his co-founders Andres and Troy, started Cadenzo: A platform that helps musicians and venues streamline the booking process. Listen to this fascinating talk about Marc's journey and his plan to bring entertainment booking out of the dark ages!
