05 / GROWTH PLANRHYTH LABS · OCTOBER 2026
EVERY SHOW SHOULD
BUILD THE NEXT ONE.
Artist audiences
Artists introduce Rhyth to their audiences through agreed deliverables.
Connected fans
Fans register, attend and discover other artists, clubs and programming.
Repeat community
Returning audiences can support repeat shows, subscriptions and sponsor renewals.
What we will measure
Artist-attributed registrations, registration-to-paid-attendance conversion, actual and repeat attendance, and subscription conversion after launch.
Why Rhyth
Artist communities, recurring virtual clubs, social discovery, radio and interactive brand experiences in one music community.
Promotion is subject to artist-specific agreement; no general posting commitment is assumed. Growth and retention remain hypotheses. Roblox is category context, not a Rhyth forecast.
06 / THE NEXT THREE YEARSRHYTH LABS · OCTOBER 2026

WORKING INITIAL RAISE RANGE
$50K–$75K
Current fundraising range under consideration.
Open to a larger strategic investment.
$50K · Reduced scope plan
$16,320 Upstate operations · $20,000 reduced Launch Week · $6,000 310babii offer if finalized · $7,680 additional liquidity.
About three produced artist experiences; remaining commitments depend on additional funding.$75K · Fuller November plan
$16,320 Upstate · $44,850 Launch Week plan · $6,000 310babii offer if finalized · $7,830 additional liquidity.
Miami and Benny’s conditional $12,000 offer require separately secured funding.The $50K–$75K range is a current working fundraising range, not a finalized raise commitment. These allocations are provisional plans. At $75K, the plan leaves $7,830 liquidity; it does not cover Miami or unpriced exclusions. Larger strategic investment could fund additional programming and January subscription rollout, once costed.
Working use-of-funds plan, not a reconciled or approved all-in budget. Shared staffing overlaps and exclusions remain under review. Investment structure, valuation and investor rights are undecided; existing obligations schedule is incomplete.
