2023 is a wrap for #soundtrackyourbrand… Reflecting over morning coffee I find myself grateful, opportunistic, and motivated. Very few startups in music tech make it through, but the ones who do, usually become Category Kings, so let's bring it on, 2024 here we come. Deeply grateful for the Soundtrack team, one of the best and most efficient operating units in the industry. $30 Million in ARR with 85 team members speaks for itself. Also a huge thanks to our investors and board who are supporting us in our mission to unlock the deeply dysfunctional music-for-business market. Matt Pincus Willard Ahdritz Matt Spetzler Brendan Ives Jeff Ransdell Maggie Vo, CFA Also, thanks to our music-rights-holder-partners, hoping for some more help in creating a level playing field and compliant market moving forward #universalmusicgroup #sonymusic #warnermusic #merlin #kobalt and all others- This is only the beginning… Happy New Year everyone / Ola #soundtrackyourbrand #musicforbusiness #backgroundmusic #categorydesign #musicbusiness #musicindustry #musicmatters

Something is changing in the music industry. The types of startups emerging are so much more developed than just a few years ago. It could be the use of AI in programming, or maybe just tech across all verticals is better over time. Or maybe founders have leapfrogged the unique obstacles of working in music. Want to see what I mean? Here’s a handful of the semi-finalists in the Swimming with Narwhals music tech startup competition who will be pitching next week… Jesse Buddington at CreateBase helps artists register, track, and claim royalties. Diego Pinzon at DAWn Audio helps artists collaborate across DAWs. Dave Yeager at Showcase provides human-curated music discovery in enjoyable ways. How ‘bout I post some more examples tomorrow? Will you come root for these startups in our competition online September 11?
