ABOUT HAWKR

Hawkr is a revolutionary new way of buying and selling music merchandise at live gigs.  Our digital platform, with consumer facing app, makes the process better, simpler, more sustainable and a more rewarding experience for both fans and artists.

 

Hawkr combines live and dynamic virtual merch stands with the latest direct to garment printing, to create a more sustainable and streamlined process for all involved.

 

In addition, it reduces carbon footprint, energy and water usage and uses nontoxic inks in the printing process.  We strive to make Hawkr the new way of merchandising, not only to help fans and artists connect, but to help the planet.

 

We are an ambitious start-up made up from a friendly and progressive team and our three founders have close connections to the music industry.  

 

We are both fans of music, and touring musicians.
