The Startup

The Startup is a sharp, satirical new musical about the price we pay for digital fame.

With biting humor and bold heart, The Startup dives into our tangled relationship with technology, tackling everything from social media addiction and data privacy to influencer culture and the rise of AI. It’s a timely story about ambition, integrity, and what we’re willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of success.
