We are a music gamification platform owned in part by the major record labels that enables music fans to enjoy great music and fun contests as they operate their own fantasy record label in the FanLabel app. Players pick the songs they think will rise on the contest charts and shoot for the top spot on the leaderboards. Ultimately, fans become promoters and influencers as they socially share and support the songs and artists theyve signed to their virtual label. Our goal is to enable fans to engage more deeply with their favorite artists and to discover brand new music. At the same time, we support the record labels and artists in understanding the preferences and opinions of listeners so that they can be more effective in supporting artist promotion and monetization.

Professional installation of aftermarket electronics — radar detectors (i.e., Uniden), driver-assist systems, and connected vehicle technology — is a $2B+ market built entirely on craftsmanship. Every install is a one-off. Every vehicle is different. Every shop figures it out from scratch. The result: installs that take days instead of hours, inconsistent quality, and a ceiling on how many vehicles any shop can service. For the brands behind these products, it means their most premium offerings cant scale beyond the handful of fabricators skilled enough to install them. Archetype changes that. We design and manufacture vehicle-specific Radar Installation Kits — precision-engineered, drop-in solutions that give any professional shop the ability to deliver a flawless install in a fraction of the time. What used to require days of custom fabrication now takes hours. Quality goes up. Cost goes down. And shops can finally scale their most profitable service line. Our kits are engineered at Archetype HQ in Nashville by Dave Koz, one of the most respected fabricators in the industry — named Fabricator of the Year at MasterTech 2026 and a MEA Top 12 Installer. Every kit reflects thousands of hours of real-world installation expertise, translated into a repeatable, scalable product. Archetype is already in the market — distributed nationally through MSC and installed in shops across the country. Were building the platform that turns custom fabrication into a product category. Precision. Scaled. archetypeform.com
