Vib.in wants to be Etsy for the EDM scene

Ashish Patil wants to hook you up with all your electronic music festival needs.
Patil, 28, is the founder of Vib.in, which aims to be Etsy for electronic dance music, or EDM, fans. Sellers can post their party wares, like a Daft Punk LED helmet ($450) or an electric rave bra ($40). It’s in private beta right now.

Vib.in will take a 10 percent cut of every sale and is considering other types of fees.
Patil, who recently got his master’s in technology management from Wharton, used to work at medical device startups. His background is in user experience. He was also part of the Wharton Venture Initiation Program, one of Wharton’s startup programs.
He’s not that huge into the EDM scene — “I’m not a house head,” he told us — but he is drawn to the community of creators and makers in it, he said.
He lives in Lansdale and works out of Benjamin’s Desk. He’s still searching for developers to work on the project. He previously outsourced the development of the site, which he said was a mistake. “What took me 12-15 iterations would’ve taken me two to three iterations,” he said, had he employed a local partner.
