Amplifying Efficiency - Business Infrastructure for Audio Startups - Alexandra Arutian & Samuel Fischmann - ADC 2024
---

Have a great audio product (or idea for an audio product) but don’t know how to turn it into a business? Want to start your own audio plugin company but have no idea what that even means? Already have a product but don’t know how to get momentum in the market? Learn from our mistakes!

We acquired decades of experience in internal business tools and systems, financial analysis, automation, and analytics before leaving our 9-to-5 jobs to start a new audio venture. Even with all that background, we’ve had to learn a lot in the last two years, and have a ton of information to share with you.
