As promised, herein this article is our official road map for 2017. Included is a copy of our business model for those interested. http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/01/01/Thirsty-letter-headb5b4b.png ### Update Before seeing our road map, there are a few things you should know, because we have drastically changed our business model (see below). We initially wanted to create a music label that could deliver software solutions as well as production services. In order to do this, we have split both our software development and music production into two subsidiaries. What this means is that Thirsty Records is now a part of something much bigger; Thirsty Entertainment. Regardless of this change, Thirsty Records will continue to provide services here on Steemit. # Thirsty Entertainment Thirsty Entertainment is a registered Australian Business. Thirsty® is a trademarked identification of the Thirsty Entertainment Business. Our subsidiaries include Thirsty Records and will soon include our music streaming company, Thirsty Music. With this in mind, the below road map and business model belong to Thirsty Entertainment. This means that any mention of media production or distribution is in part, but not entirely, referring to the services that Thirsty Records will provide. http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/01/01/businessmodelscreenshot593f5.png http://www.steemimg.com/images/2017/01/01/businessroadmapscreenshot1dee7.png As you can see, one of our main focuses will be our crowdfunding goal in February. We have planned to raise a modest $300,000 towards funding our business. We are a self funded start up and in order to move forward with our goals this is a necessity. We believe that with our business model and the crowdfunding rewards we plan to give early investors*, this goal is easily achievable. Behind the scenes we will be continuing to work with our IT department to deliver the world's first monetized music streaming platform. Monetized music streaming platforms have been conceived already, however they have not found a solution for storing music on the Blockchain. **Our development team has found a solution to this problem and we plan to deliver it shortly. Our music streaming platform will use the Steem Blockchain.** *For investors, we plan to reward large donations during our crowdfunding phase with the issuance of convertible debt. Convertible debt issued during our crowdfunding phase will be traded for company shares through a buy back scheme once we become publicly listed. We believe this is a good incentive for long term investors. Small donations will be rewarded with Thirsty branded merchandise. **We will release more information on our crowdfunding phase within the next week. If you know people who may be interested in our platform, please share this post.** Our road map does not include day-to-day functions or the minor goals we are to achieve behind the scenes. We have focused solely on the bigger milestones ahead. Thank you for reading our official announcement.
