AUDIUS
CO-FOUNDERS: RONEIL RUMBURG & FORREST BROWNING COUNTRY: US STARTED: 2018
What’s your origin story? We are co-founders Roneil Rumburg and Forrest Browning, and we fell in love with dance music while studying computer science at Stanford. Increasingly, we noticed our favourite tunes were disappearing from SoundCloud. We then realised that a decentralised audio platform would solve this issue and help to directly connect fans with artists and exclusive new music. And thus, Audius was born. What are you working on now? The Audius community is always working to help grow its network of creators, curators and fans – and build stronger relationships around sharing and listening to new music.

What’s next? This year, we will introduce new features that provide fans the means of supporting their favourite musicians in tons of different ways. Plus, artists will be able to harness the power of their superfans to drive engagement and monetise content like never before. If you could have anything right now, what would that be? We just want to help people connect with their favourite storytellers in more meaningful ways, while helping creators support themselves!
