Meet Mak Grgic, founder of Notey's World, who's tackling a universal challenge: 90% of people who try learning guitar eventually quit. In this investment pitch, Mak showcases how his Techstars-backed startup transforms musical instruments into actual game controllers, creating an addictive learning experience that's seeing unprecedented user retention—67% at day 90 compared to the industry's measly 2%. With $207,000 in first-year revenue and school partnerships already spanning multiple states, Notey's custom AI technology adapts to each student's specific learning gaps.
