You're In Business

Kena.ai is a music education platform leveraging AI for practice feedback, with a pivot to a decentralized creator marketplace. While the core technology (AI music neural engine) shows promise and technical sophistication, the project suffers from a significant disconnect between claimed traction ('300k+ users', 'most people have used my product') and verifiable signals (only 3 App Store ratings since 2019, 'unfunded' status on Tracxn). The submission quality was extremely poor, containing hyperbolic falsehoods that damaged credibility. The score reflects a technologically interesting project with minimal verifiable market adoption.

Description
Kena's music creator marketplace redistributes wealth back to creators.\n\nArtists deserve to earn more than fractions of a penny on a dollar. The current establishment rips music content creators of their freedom to be creative and limits their potential to retain maximum portions of earnings.\n\nKena is built from the ground up to enable a creator economy with superpowers and allows the artists to be in maximum control of their creativity and value.\n\nKena is free for music content creators with no initiation fee. Create structured content such as music courses, sheet music, practice routines, podcasts, community circles, audio, and video streams within minutes and monetize.\n\nApple Download: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kena-opus/id1495815411\nAndroid Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.kena.opus\nSign-up here: https://opus.kena.ai
