  • musicyou

    Led · Seed · Apr 2015

    Musicyou is an app focused on private music sharing rather than a public music feed, allowing users to choose a song from iTunes and attach it to text, photos or videos. The product omits a public timeline to emphasize private sharing among friends who have similar tastes. Users can share content with music across any messenger app, social network or social media. The company highlights ease and speed of adding music to moments as its core differentiator. Musicyou has secured external funding and a commercial partnership to help promote distribution. Financially, the startup raised a seed round of €300,000 from strategic investors as reported in the article. Founders Rui Lopes and Gonçalo Fernandes bring prior mobile and content experience, with Lopes having worked at mobicomp (acquired by Microsoft) and building Cloud9 as his second company, and Fernandes previously responsible at T.I.M.we.

  • Musikki

    Led · Equity · Oct 2014

    Musikki builds an image management and distribution platform for the music industry, positioning itself as “the IMDB of music.” Its core product, Exclusiph, enables distribution of images to any channel with a single file upload. The tool automatically generates assets for print, digital downloads, and embeddable online formats while carrying credits, music metadata, and related promotional content like press releases and audio/video links. Exclusiph was developed with independent label 4AD and is already used by labels including Secretly Group. Musikki competes on the data and B2B side with services such as Allmusic, Discovr, Echonest and Rovi. The company recently secured additional funding to extend its image platform and support rollout of Exclusiph. Musikki operates a proprietary algorithm that pulls multiple APIs to match music data, content and information to the correct artist, album or song and aggregates it into a single page. The service is positioned as an IMDB‑like discovery platform for consumers while also powering other music services with data about listener preferences. On the consumer side the London‑based company competes with AllMusic, Discovr, Echonest and Rovi. The company's development base is in Portugal, and it says it is in advanced discussions with a number of major music businesses about partnerships. Financially, Musikki had been bootstrapped and won an MIT‑backed €200,000 non‑diluted grant. It recently secured €330,000 in seed funding from Smart Equity and has also raised seed capital from several Portugal‑based sources.
