Decksi is the first product from Creative D, a company that declares, "We create platforms that engage audiences and make money." Employing a trading card deck metaphor, Decksi creates a game context for collecting digital content from music to graphics to video. It's a potentially powerful platform for monetizing content and Decksi CEO Richard Kanee says they love working with indie artists.

Decksi came to my attention as a Music Tech Startup Finalist for MidemLab 2013. Yesterday I spoke with CEO and Co-Founder Richard Kanee who told me that after months of stealthy labor, he and his Co-Founders established Creative D in Toronto about a year ago.

From his own background at Much Music, a company Kanee says launched the ringtone market in Canada, he was well aware that music fans would buy small pieces of content based on the particular context. He explained that the trading deck was a "natural place to start" since people know what to do with them and that the idea is to move fans from consuming to collecting.

VICTORIA DUFFIELD lyrics : "Paper Planes" Dare, dare you, I dare you to free fall With open eyes, eyes open wide Love, it's a one, it's a one in a million So let's catch this ride, bring this to life

'Cause I got what you want, you got what I want No point in moving slow We'll run through the fire Keep climbing higher up

[CHORUS:] Baby, hold your hands out Jump from the Hollywood sign, now I know that if paper planes can fly, so can you and I

We won't crash down Air underneath our wings, now I know that if paper planes can fly, so can you and I

We can fly, you and I Oh, if paper planes can fly So can you and I

Would stay in your arms for tonight, til forever When the night gets cold, I'll keep you warm Oh, we don't need to know where we're headed We're gonna' take the turns, we're gonna' cut the curves
