Hi friend,

Despite the endless bank holidays back in April, we had another good month and continued to build more systems to ensure the future, on brand, low cost growth of Tutti.

We’ve been inspired by our friends at Odin to include a reminder of our mission here at the start of our email:

• Tutti is building radically better technology for the creative industries, to give creative people more time to create.
• Our first product tackles a problem all creators experience at some point: finding and booking space. Our tech improves the discovery and management of any physical space that can be hired creatively (film/photo shoots, recordings, performances, launches, and more). Software to help venue managers (often creative people themselves) manage enquiries, contacts, payments, and internal communications, making them more efficient and faster at responding to requests. As well as a marketplace that helps creatives find the perfect space for their needs, simultaneously driving leads to venues.
• Our long-term goal: unleash human creativity, by automating and simplifying the mountains of admin & logistics behind every creative project.

Ask: I’m going to SF 16-25 May. If you know any investors/experts in Vertical focused SaaS, SaaS enabled marketplaces, B2B SaaS, or creative industries tech, that you think I should meet, please let me know.

General updates:

• Tutti led to £8,382.00 worth of completed bookings in April
• We launched new marketing pages across the site:
  • A new home page, including content created in our spaces
  • An introduction to our new software.
  • A refreshed “about us” page
• We pushed a massive collection of changes across the site to improve security & page speeds.
• As expected, our traffic growth run stopped in April
  • Our traffic follows regular work day patterns with massive drops on weekends. So we expected we’d take a hit with all the national holidays, and were proven right.
  • But we still had 10,551 visitors, 95% from SEO.
  • We decreased ad spend to £200.
• We’ve had more inbound investor interest!
• Yesterday, I spoke on a conference about innovation in classical music alongside key voices in the industry including the Director of Warner Classics UK, former director of BBC Proms & Barbican Centre, and a few other fascinating people.

We’ve expanded a role we started in January: Location Lister
