## What is Buskr?

Buskr puts the street stage on the map — literally.
The Buskr app was designed for the hidden gems and the underdogs. This app's purpose is to shine a light on all the talented artists in the world that most may never know about or ever see. While the basis of the app is a digital platform, it solely relies on users "going outside," and seeing what wonders artists are out there creating. The App is broken up between two user experiences: 

FOR FANS (Bystander Accounts)
• See every performer live near you, right now, on a live map
• Walk up and join the show — your presence counts in the artist's live audience
• Tip in seconds with your card; your tip goes to the performer
• Request a song while the busker is live and you are attending an active "music based performance," with a tip attached
• Boost your favorite songs on their setlist and shape the show
- Boosts are weighted and the more others interact, the more the direction of the performances changes
• Follow performers and get notified the moment they go live nearby
- Shape your own "digital groupie," personality while experiencing different sides of artists and earning badges for your interactions

FOR PERFORMERS (Busker Accounts)
• Go live in one tap — your pin appears for every fan nearby
• Get tips straight to your bank through secure Stripe payouts — no cash cup required
• A QR code uniquely created for busker accounts allows fans can scan to tip from any phone, no app needed. Also, allowing fans to get a more detailed description of that performer.
• Song requests, live audience counts, ratings, and set stats in a real Stage Mode
- Home tab for busker accounts is broken up between two tabs, "Setlist and Metrics." These tabs act as not only a multi aspect tool for how they can better take control and utilize their time during a performance, but also as an area where they can track their own goals, see personal development, and control how the crowd can interact with them.
• Your first 30 days of tips are commission-free

HOW THE MONEY WORKS
Tips are processed by Stripe and paid out to the performer's connected account. Fans see the exact total (tip + card processing fee) before paying. Buskr's 9% commission is waived for a performer's first 30 days. Instant payouts are optional with fees shown up front.

Street performance has always ran on generosity. Buskr just makes the hat digital and easier to find.
