Welcome to Soloist! The music social media app you’ll be able to say you knew before it was big because Future Wonder got to help with it 🎶.
In 2024, Soloist was featured in 4 global conferences: CES in Vegas, SXSW in Austin, Rally in Indy, and Music Tectonics in Santa Monica. They also spoke at the Music Bloom Summit in Chicago in December 2023. There’s a reason they’re everywhere: Techpoint's recent article shares that “Soloist simulates the experience of having bandmates for musicians who, on average, spend 90% of their time practicing their instrument alone”. You can record your own soundbites to turn into songs with friends or explore other artists through your personalized feed (and maybe find your next bandmates).
We have been helping them build their mobile app to their founder Parker Busick’s high standards and the product is making an impact. “In one year of validation, Soloist has bootstrapped $105,000; won three pitch competitions and two grants; and secured one private equity investment.” Come witness the future of social media in the collaborative music space.
Building a product like this takes more than an idea. It takes focus on the core workflow, strong UX, and an engineering approach that can evolve quickly as users give feedback. When we support mobile teams, we help with discovery and prioritization, design iterations, performance and reliability, and making sure releases are testable and maintainable over time.
If you’re exploring a mobile build (consumer app or internal tool), check out our mobile development work and get in touch. We’re always excited to help founders ship a first version and then improve it with real-world learning.
