Chaos Audio is among 70 businesses selected to compete for cash awards at CoCreate Pitch 2025, hosted by Alibaba.com and scheduled for Sept. 4-5 in Las Vegas.
Chaos Audio’s application, focused on the business’s new Nimbus product, was among more than 20,000 received by the event.
Over the past six years, Chaos Audio has developed and marketed its much-applauded Stratus guitar pedal, a plugin platform that enables players to create and store tones from multiple effects and access them hands free.
Nimbus, representing a significant evolution in the Chaos Audio product line, is a compact, all-in-one-box 70-watt amp/Bluetooth speaker system that replaces entire music studio setups. It will be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign to be announced soon.
Based on an initial round of pitches in Las Vegas, the field of 70 semifinalists will be winnowed to 10 finalists with a chance to win CoCreate Pitch 2025’s top prize of $200,000.
Already, the buzz surrounding the imminent availability of Nimbus has been enthusiastic.
“We launched our Kickstarter campaign for Stratus with 170 reservations,” said Chaos Audio CEO Landon McCoy. “With Nimbus, we already have more than 800 reservations.”
The product had generated more than 6,000 email signups as of Aug. 26.
McCoy and Chaos Audio, a tenant business at the TechFarms incubator in Panama City Beach, have learned by growing and grown by learning.
“We have addressed some of the Stratus product’s limitations,” McCoy said. “For the musician, Nimbus can literally do just about anything. It is definitely better than any other product in this market.”
