Manifesto · est. 2024

The next platform
shouldn't take 30%.

We built Sceniq because the tools we needed to run our own studio didn't exist as one product. They existed as six — and every one of them took a cut.

Booking. Streaming. Lessons. Payouts. Door access. A website. Glued together with spreadsheets, lost in browser tabs, eating the time that should've gone into craft.

So we wrote the OS the scene deserves. Cheaper. Faster. Open at the edges. Owned by you — your students, your tracks, your data, your domain.

Sceniq is what we wish we had. We hope you build something with it.

What we believe

Four principles. Every release.

01 / 04

Creators keep the most

Our pricing is the floor — never the ceiling. If we can take less, we will.

02 / 04

Data is yours, always

One-click export. Open formats. No lock-in, no exit fees, no questions.

03 / 04

Build at the edges

Webhooks, APIs, SDKs from day one. Replace any module with your own.

04 / 04

Ship the unsexy parts

Taxes, payroll, accessibility, multi-language. The boring infrastructure is the product.

Team

Small team. Big scene.

Eight people in Lyon, Berlin and Montréal. All of us actively perform, teach or run venues — Sceniq is the tool we use every day.
