Charles Feinn’s Summary

The co-founder of MixMatchMusic, Charles is a multi-instrumentalist who has studied music his entire life. He was inspired to start the company in part by his immersion in the technologies used to create, edit and distribute modern music. And he was intrigued by the similarities between Internet and human neural networks, his field of study at UCLA.

In creating MixMatchMusic, Charles applied human networking principles of modularity, complexity, information exchange and emergent properties to the Internet. By employing the Internet network, artists will experience meaningful and fruitful collaborations that will result in the next evolutionary step of music.

Prior to founding MixMatchMusic, Charles worked in an electrophysiology lab studying the kinetics of temperature sensitive proteins (TRP channels) at the Centro de Estudios Cientificos in Valdivia, Chile. The spanish-speaking lab was run as a community of scientists centered on the belief that they were doing something important for both themselves and the world. Their enthusiasm for their work, combined with the lab's decentralized operational hierarchy, opened lines of communication and information sharing. From this experience, Charles learned the important management principles of employee self-worth, independence and communication.
