What IKUMA CONSULTING SRL does

IKUMA CONSULTING SRL is the operating entity behind Soul's Face, a mobile-first social networking platform exclusively dedicated to artists. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Rome, Italy, the platform distributes solely through Apple App Store and Google Play Store (iOS and Android), with no web alternative. It serves individual artists and performers across 13 categories — Circus, Dancer, Musician, Stunt, Comedian, Writer, Graphic Art, Actor, Photographer, Painter, Sculptor, Singer, and Entertainer — letting them create profiles, upload video and image content, participate in category-specific community spaces, browse and publish events, and post or respond to booking engagements. Recruiters and event organizers form the demand side, while art enthusiasts form the consumer side, creating a three-sided horizontal marketplace for artistic services.

Broad incumbents

• Fiverr: Fiverr is a broad incumbent freelance services marketplace that overlaps with Soul's Face's engagement/hiring functionality for creative services, but serves a much broader professional services category.
• Eventbrite: Eventbrite is a broad incumbent event publishing and ticketing platform. Soul's Face's Events Platform overlaps with Eventbrite's core use case but is specialized for artistic performances and integrated with artist profiles.
• Behance: Behance (owned by Adobe) is a broad incumbent artist portfolio and community platform. Soul's Face competes for the same creator mindshare around showcasing work, but with the addition of booking and event features.

Direct peers

• OnlyFans: OnlyFans is a direct peer in creator subscription monetization. Soul's Face's PRO subscription model and content uploads follow a similar recurring-revenue-from-fans dynamic, though applied to performance artists rather than adult creators.
• Songkick: Songkick is a direct peer in concert discovery and live event listings. Soul's Face's Events Platform competes for music artist and audience attention in the same live-entertainment discovery category.
• Patreon: Patreon is a direct peer in creator monetization and fan membership, allowing creators to earn recurring income from supporters. Soul's Face's PRO subscription and education features overlap with Patreon's recurring-revenue creator model.
• Bandsintown: Bandsintown is a direct peer for music artist event discovery and ticketing. Soul's Face's Events Platform and music-artist category compete for the same use case of connecting performers with live event audiences.
• Viberate: Viberate is a direct peer as a music-artist data and analytics platform that also surfaces booking opportunities. Soul's Face overlaps in connecting artists with industry demand, though Soul's Face is more community- and engagement-driven.
• Cameo: Cameo is a direct peer — a marketplace where fans and recruiters book creators/talent for personalized video messages and appearances. Soul's Face targets a similar booking-driven marketplace dynamic but for performing and visual artists rather than celebrities.

Emerging players

• Drip: Drip is an emerging player in creator subscriptions and fan memberships for musicians and creators. Soul's Face's PRO and education features overlap with Drip's creator-monetization positioning, though Drip is more music-focused.
