Hello, I'm Max Bernstein

Providing operational intelligence for modern music companies

After nearly a decade in financial services, Max left Wall Street for music and went on to build businesses spanning festivals, a record label, artist management, marketing, and music technology. Today, his work gives him a unique view into how music companies actually operate, and where better systems, data, automation, and Al can create a competitive advantage.

Max at Relationl has been VERY helpful. He understands our industry, listens, and executes our needs with tools designed to not only assist each team, but to integrate those tools across our enterprise. We are grateful for the entire team at Relationl

Max comes to the "Table" with unique knowledge of my industry and needs for my law firm database, organization, and automation. So glad I found him.

This has been the easiest development process I've ever been a part of. The Relationl team works efficiently and is incredibly knowledgeable, helping guide us toward an implementation that both serves our current needs and allows for future growth. They are clear and concise communicators, and highly responsive.

The team @ Relationl helped us create our customized Airtable while simultaneously teaching us the how and why of the build. They were invaluable partners and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to incorporate Airtable into their business.

Max literally helped me do my job with 10x the effectiveness as before. He's incredible to work with on both the ideation level, as well as executing said ideas. What we've built is the baseline to everything that our team now does today.

Project management in the music industry is a nightmare. We saw great potential in Airtable, and we spent (too many) months trying to unlock its potential on our own. Once we met Max and Relationl, the game was completely opened up and we now have a powerful and coherent tool that greatly helps streamline our business.
