Tell us about your shows

Ten copies of BlackSheep+, free, for production companies who'll run it on real events and tell us the truth. Anyone can buy the suite today; the Founder's Version is a trade, and we choose by fit rather than first come — so the more you tell us, the better we can tell whether this will work for you.

Only three answers are required. The rest are optional, and every one helps. About ten minutes; your answers are saved in this browser as you go.

Prefer email? mark@blacksheep-productions.com works too.

1 / 5 About you

Who we'd be working with.

Organization type
What you personally do on a show — producing, technical direction, logistics, client management…

2 / 5 Your events

What you produce and what you run it with today.

What kinds of events do you produce? Tick all that apply.
About how many events a year?
On a typical event, roughly how many people are involved? Best guesses are fine.
Which tools support each of these today? Name the product, or "spreadsheets", "email", "nothing". Leave a row blank if it doesn't apply.
Tasks & planning
Budgets
Crew availability & booking
Run of show
Onsite schedules
Surveys & registration
Audience Q&A & polling
The crew list typed into three places, the schedule that lives in four emails — that kind of thing.

3 / 5 Your first show

The real event you'd run BlackSheep+ on first. This is the part we read most closely.

What it is, who it's for, what makes it complex — rooms, sessions, crew size, travel, a demanding client.

4 / 5 Who will set up and configure BlackSheep+ for your organization

Getting your copy running happens before that first event, and it needs an owner.

A name or a role, and a rough figure — "a day up front, then a couple of hours a week".
Who will handle the technical setup? Setup means creating free accounts at GitHub, Supabase and Netlify and following a one-click-at-a-time guide, with an AI assistant to help. No coding.
Which modules look most relevant? Tick all that apply.

5 / 5 The program

What we ask of founders, and what you'd need from us.

Can you complete setup within 30 days and use the suite on a real event within 60?
Will you agree to send structured feedback through the app? The Feedback link on every page of the suite: what's confusing, what's missing, what broke, and what you changed in your copy. A minute at a time, as it comes up.
May BlackSheep publish an anonymized case study? No company or event names. Naming you would be a separate conversation and your separate approval.
An IT or security sign-off, moving data out of another tool, a procurement step, help with the first setup…

Please fill in the organization name, your name and your email — everything else is optional.

We read every one and reply by email, usually within a week.

Your answers go to BlackSheep Productions and are used only to run the Founder's Program. We don't share them, and we'll delete them on request — mark@blacksheep-productions.com.
