Nominated by Doughty Hanson Technology <strong>Venture</strong>s<br />
SoundCloud is a Berlin-based startup that lets users move music fast and easy via<br />
the web. Known as the “Flickr <strong>of</strong> sound”, the service is part social site for audio<br />
creators and part large scale platform with open APIs that already has over 80 apps<br />
& services integrated (ranging from music making s<strong>of</strong>tware through artist service<br />
applications to consumer facing music sites). The service launched 18 months<br />
ago and has rapidly attracted over 1.4 million audio makers and is growing at<br />
double digit %s/month. Users come from across the scale and include bedroom<br />
producers, Kylie Minogue, all 4 major record labels, audio book readers and sound<br />
effect makers. SoundCloud is currently one <strong>of</strong> the largest and fastest growing audio<br />
sites today with the trajectory <strong>of</strong> becoming a massive scale media sharing platform<br />
in the ranks <strong>of</strong> youTube, Flickr & Wordpress.<br />
