Investor Brief — July 2026

LEARN DRUMS THE WAY YOU LEARN A GUITAR HERO SONG — BY PLAYING THE ONES YOU LOVE.

The Opportunity

Drums are the instrument gamified learning forgot.

Traditional drum lessons are expensive, schedule-bound, and offer no feedback outside of lesson time. Gamified apps like Yousician and Simply Piano have proven the model works — but they're built for piano and guitar first, leaving drums, and drummers, underserved.

$4.3–4.6B

Global online music education market (2026), growing 13–15% CAGR. Drums: ~10% of instrument demand — still the smallest, least-served slice.

The Product

It doesn't feel like a lesson. It feels like playing your favorite songs — which happens to teach you drums.

AI Feedback Engine

An initial skill assessment plus ongoing gameplay analysis generate a personalized improvement plan for every student.

Song Catalog + Requests

Students play along to their favorite songs from a built-in catalog, or submit a paid request for tracks not yet available.

Guitar Hero-Style Play

Notes and patterns scroll in real time. Students hit, hold, and groove — scored instantly on timing and accuracy.

All Ages, All Levels

Structured paths take players from complete beginner to advanced, adapting difficulty as they improve.

Where We're Starting From

Backed by a real teaching business, not a cold start.

250

Face-to-face students

₱300K

Current monthly revenue

~60%

Retention rate

~40%

MoM enrollment growth

These figures reflect Zach Alcasid's existing face-to-face coaching business, not the app itself — none of these students have used Groove Quest yet. They're the foundation the phased launch (below) is designed to convert.

The Launch Plan

Three deliberate stages, not a big-bang release.

Invite-Only Beta

Stage 1

Groove Quest launches first to Zach's current and recently finished face-to-face students — the most qualified group to stress-test the product.

Community Rollout

Stage 2

Access expands to Zach's broader social media groups and subscribers — a much larger, still-warm audience ahead of the public.

Public Soft Launch

Stage 3 — Early September 2026

Groove Quest opens beyond Zach's network for the first time, marking the start of general customer acquisition.

The Team

A founder with the audience. A CTO with the years.

Zach Alcasid

Founder, Lead Instructor & Coach

A well-known session drummer and musician with 3M+ followers across social media — giving Groove Quest built-in teaching credibility and organic reach from day one.

Bong Alcasid

CTO / Software Architect

Over 25 years of professional web development experience, leading the technical build of the platform and the AI Feedback Engine.

The Ask

₱1,000,000 for 20%

₱4,000,000 pre-money · ₱5,000,000 post-money

To complete the AI Feedback Engine and fund an influencer-led marketing push behind the Stage 3 soft launch.

This is a target, not an all-or-nothing minimum. Smaller investments are welcome at a proportionally smaller stake, on the same terms — roughly ₱50,000 per 1% of equity.
