Why Am I Seeing More And More Music – Related Startups Here in Israel?
I keep meeting more and more music related startups here in Israel.
And I mean a lot to me.
It’s been one of the most delightful surprises of this adventure for the Rackspace Startups Program.
And it makes sense.
I have this other thing that I have always believed in, but could never wholly articulate: and that was that music is just code.
But now, we have all these coders building companies here – and yes, it’s just about music, but manifested in a different way.
Last March, I went on a road trip to discover the Mississippi Blues Trail, with the highlight being a visit to Robert Johnson‘s graveside.
Lots of the stuff I grew up on came from he and his compadres in the Mississippi Delta.
So I’ll take this idea one step further – and my belief is that this whole thing that is here that goes beyond Startup Nation.
Maybe Israel is the next Blues Trail… you know – not of music per se, but the digital infrastructure on which all this runs on and more importantly discovered, shared, and brings us all together.
More to come on this. I am just getting started.
Rock On. Ya’ll.
From the Promised Land.
