That\u2019s the vision behind Discotech, the world\u2019s #1 nightlife app, and this week on Startup to Storefront, we sat down with co-founder Ian Chen to hear how he and his team are transforming the way we party. With 1.5M+ app installs and users in over 120 cities across five continents, Discotech is more than a party app, it\u2019s a platform that bridges technology, culture, and commerce to modernize an industry that\u2019s long operated on paper guest lists and text threads. Their platform helps clubs boost sales, streamline promoter workflows, and connect with a young, highly engaged audience, 88% of whom are between 18\u201345. And they\u2019re just getting started. In this episode, Ian shares: \u2014 How the sober-curious movement is impacting club culture and creating space for new kinds of nightlife \u2014 Why Gen Z is opting for quality over chaos&amp;nbsp;and what venues need to do to stay relevant \u2014 How Discotech is solving one of the industry's biggest pain points: outdated promoter systems Whether you're in hospitality, tech, or just love a good founder story, &amp;nbsp;this episode's for you.
