The story behind Starfishr

Where Starfishr comes from and what we stand for.

Why does Starfishr exist?

Starfishr is built by people who work in the artist world themselves. For years we missed a tool that understands the business side of this job and respects the creative side. So we built it ourselves.

That makes us small and quick to move, and that is a choice. You are not talking to an anonymous software company here, but to people who know the same gigs, the same admin and the same deadlines you do.

Starfishr is deliberately never finished. The core you rely on every day is stable and stays that way. Around it the platform keeps evolving.

By artists, for artists

Starfishr was not thought up in a meeting room. It is built by people who perform, book and invoice themselves.

Every feature is thoroughly tested by ourselves before it reaches you.

Take control. Stay creative.

Our promise in four words. A grip on your business, room for your craft. Admin comes with the job, but it should never take over. Starfishr makes sure you can keep your focus on what really counts.

You run the show

You decide. Who represents you, what you take on, what you share.

Relationships on Starfishr only exist with your consent. And you can export your data at any time.

Level playing field

The order of search results and the matching are never for sale.

Our intelligent matching engine finds the right artist(s) for every request. It looks at who you are and what you do. A starter and a big name get the same chance to be found. Reviews come from real bookings.

Privacy by design

Your data is yours. You decide what is visible and for whom. What is private stays private. Privacy is the foundation Starfishr is built on.

Visibility is your call at every level.

We build this together

Starfishr grows in dialogue with our community. Every suggestion is read by the people who build the platform.

New features appear regularly, based on our own experience and in consultation with our community.
