From our point of view, the internets contribution to both live music and the music industry has yet to be fully realised. Having run live music events in the past, we hit a wall streaming music content through whats currently available.
Chew is the DJs live streaming platform.
Our users can stream from the browser or our mobile app, right up to professional level broadcasting equipment. And while we have the core features youll find with our competitors, what makes us different is our focus on music content.
We have a proactive approach to licensing. With our technology and our expertise, we want to become the platform for live music events.
We make sharing compliant live content easy!

We are helping UK entrepreneurs build better businesses.
3-6 months of startup support and investment from a global network of founders, mentors and investors.
Since 2011 Ignite have supported over 500 founders who have raised over £200m in venture capital from some of the worlds leading investors.
Current programme:
A funded, 3 month pre-accelerator for idea-stage founders, or founders without an idea, looking to start working on the idea full-time.
The pre-accelerator is only open to founders or companies based in the North East (County Durham, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear).
The pre-accelerator is a 3 month full-time programme that helps entrepreneurs to develop their business idea, launch an MVP, get their first customers and figure out what to do next. We are looking for entrepreneurs who want to solve (or already solving) real-world problems with innovative technology-led ideas.
But if you’ve not got an idea but you think entrepreneurship is for you, or you’ve got a skill set that could lend itself to working on building a new business (especially within data and or ageing), we’d love to hear from you.
The pre-accelerator programme includes:
- £10,000 net investment (structured as a convertible loan)
- 3-month course covering product development, marketing, sales, operations, hiring and fundraising
- Mentoring from experienced entrepreneurs, mentors and investors
- 3 months of office space in Newcastle (with the potential for discounts post-programme)
- A fast-track to the final interviews of next Ignite accelerator programme (in the following year).
