V1 · what we actually ship
A music feed that gets paid in the same moment it hits.
Painslee is not TikTok with a donate button taped on. Every post is tied to a song. Support sits on the clip. The founder sees the money the same day. That is the product. Everything else in the long strategy dump is later.
Problem
- Clips go wide. The artist is paid later, elsewhere, or never.
- Fans already send money — just not inside the moment of connection.
- Early artists have no room where discovery and income share a screen.
V1 scope
Feed, player, artist profile, tip, Inner Circle, wallet, upload, cockpit, World album.
Not in V1: real Paystack keys, accounts, DMs, ads, algorithms, live shows, legal entities, hiring.
