Where Will GoTonight Go?

Where Will GoTonight Go?
...staying around home base, making Tampa Bay the best place to be for music!


What Happened?
GoTonight has been a free service since 2009; we had big dreams to expand and turn our hobby into a “real” business, but it was not to be.
We gave it our all over the years, working for free, absorbing huge losses and trying to:
1. find an investor
   (we don’t have the required revenue, 3 year payback, or potential for exponential returns)
2. develop the new system using equity-only side-project developers
   (life interrupted progress too often)
3. collect donations here for paid development
   (ended up far short)
4. find a strategic partner or an acquirer
   (none willing and able to step up or deliver what our users want

Where Will We Go?
Although we did not get the help necessary to expand and improve our service, three things helped us break even for the first time: your contributions, doing nearly everything ourselves, and ceasing efforts to add additional cities and revenue-producing features. Having reached break-even for the first time, we are happy to stay around for our donors and all music patrons in West-Central Florida!

New donations will be used to make improvements to the existing system, helping local musicians, venues and fans.   We began this work earlier this year and many have already used the new password encryption and reset, and event entry auto-complete features.  When we receive a donation of a tangible item, we will offer it here as a donor appreciation gift.   Our thanks to cash donors and artists and venues who help by donating gifts.

We are always open to your suggestions. Feel free to introduce others to us if you know anyone who would like to be a part of a fun business that helps local live music in their community and elsewhere.  Thank you to everyone who helps populate GoTonight and keep it going!
