Concert Tour Preparation Research Logistics Service
The Opportunity
Major touring artists (Cardi B example) need to attend competitor/reference concerts for tour planning but lack dedicated logistical support. They struggle with last-minute tickets, travel coordination, venue documentation, and post-show analysis—currently handled ad-hoc by overworked management. Artists and their teams waste time on grunt work instead of extracting tour insights.
