SoundCloud NYC Hero
chaswagner:
I recently became a part of SounCloud’s new community program, called SoundCloud Heroes, as their local NYC Hero. As many of you know I’m a huge fan of SounCloud, so, when I had the opportunity to work even closer with the product and community, I had to jump on it right away. But, what is this heroes initiative anyways?
Similar to ambassador programs for other startups, but with a much better name, the Heroes Program is a way to connect, inspire and foster creativity with others - both current and potential SoundClouders - through collaborations, meetups and workshops in the local NYC community. With so many creative people in this town, from musicians to storytellers to podcasters to comedians and even public radio folk, it’s going to be powerful bringing these groups together. While I’ve got some cool ideas to make this happen, it’s nowhere near the possibilities that the community can dream up.
To get started, I’m heading out to San Francisco April 6-8 to meet the SoundCloud team, learn their goals/objectives for the program and hang with the other Heroes from Austin, SF, Chicago and Syracuse. In the meantime, I’ll be recording a few sounds in the East Village to test out some early ideas and, hopefully, connect with a few NYC SoundClouders before my trip.
Hit me up with thoughts and feedback to make this baby hum!
