recapa enhances the concert experience recapa-will

Founder(s) name: Will Parkhouse 

Industry Sector: Technology, Live Entertainment

Live music has never been more recorded, and consumer demand for video has never been higher. Millions of fan videos are shot every night, then forgotten in camera rolls. Artists miss out on fan-driven exposure. Fans miss out on reliving what they felt. 

recapa is reinventing how fans re-experience live events - a collective camera roll for concerts. We sync crowd-shot video to pristine soundboard audio we capture in-venue, then auto-assemble a seamless multi-angle recap.  

Fans can replay the night on the next day's commute and for years to come. Artists and labels get licensed, rights-cleared fan clips to fill the video content gap - turning audiences into a safe content engine. 

Live music is our beachhead market. Next, we will expand into content pipelines for sport, political campaigns, festivals, and any moment where crowds hit record. Wherever people gather, recapa turns scattered phone clips into a single, rights-cleared story. 

Our Story

recapa started the way most good ideas do: from real frustration. Our founders spent years in the studio as an audio engineer, precisely tuning tracks - only to see these tracks performed live and watch people capture those same songs on phones over the sound of screaming fans, sing-along moments and background chatter - never to be watched again.  

We figured all those unlistenable clips were not useless - they just needed a better home. So, we built recapa: a shared camera roll for concerts that makes everyone’s footage part of something bigger. A place to actually relive the night, not just scroll past it.  

recapa follows our studio mindset - clean audio, multi-angle coverage, careful post-production - and wraps it in an app that serves as a collective memory.  

Since our founding in March, we have grown to a team of four, continued validating our solution, started development on our MVP and we are well on our way to a Q1 2026 launch.  

Next Phase

We have 3 clear goals to achieve by Q2 2026: 

  1. Ship the MVP - finish MVP development of our iOS & Android apps, and our partner-portal web-app. 

  1. Run pilots - test our MVP live, gather feedback and continue to iterate.  

  1. Meet with labels, and lock in our first agreements, proving there’s commercial demand beyond the pilot venues.  

Get Involved

We currently have a staged, evidence-driven plan for investors, and are planning to seek: 

  • Mid five-figure non-dilutive grant in Q2 2026 - used to harden the platform post-pilots and subsidise additional trials. 

  • Mid-six-figure SEIS seed round in Q4 2026 / Q1 2027 - used to scale to accelerate our go to market and sales teams, and cover 18 months of cloud, logistics and tour audio capture - taking us to breakeven on license revenue. 

This capital is a force multiplier, not an unblocker; we will raise only after pilots have de-risked the model with hard data.
