00:01Welcome to the elevator.
00:03We're Overture Games, guitar hero for real instruments.
00:07For the 48 million music students in the U.S.,
00:10we develop video games that listen to students and give them live feedback.
00:14I'm a senior entrepreneur in the music space,
00:16while Aspen has been making games in the past 10 years.
00:19We currently have more than 500 users from 12 different countries,
00:22and we raised $400,000, led by Honors Fund, Techstars,
00:25plus grants from three top universities.
00:27Today, we're seeking $100,000 at a six-meal evaluation
00:30to complete our pre-seed route.
00:32Join us, and let's change the future of music education.
00:37Interesting business. Not a lot of users. So small, maybe.
00:41Well, yeah, not only is it small, but on the other hand,
00:43music is kind of an international language.
00:45Yeah, it's a digital business, so global makes sense to me.
00:49But it's a game?
00:50It's a game.
00:51Or is it a music lesson?
00:52I'm not even sure a game is going to get you over that hump.
00:54Maybe we put it to a vote.
00:56Let's do it.
01:05Attention, Steven and Aspen.
01:08Your pitch has been denied.
01:15I thought it's an interesting idea, but A, it's very early,
01:19and I'm just not the right audience.
01:21They really should have said,
01:22what's the most important thing they can say
01:23that's going to get us to really react?
01:25And I just didn't hear it.
01:26Our experience in the elevator was actually pretty great.
01:29We had a good time pitching. We were well prepared.
01:31A little bit nervous, but we thought we did a good job.
01:34I think the investors missed out,
01:35and I'd love to hear what their feedback was.
01:37The future of Overture Games,
01:38we're launching on mobile pretty soon,
01:40so we'll get the game out there in the world,
01:42and hopefully we'll get more investment down the road.
