Video Transcript

 

David Porter

CEO & Founder, 8tracks

We launched 8tracks on August 8th, 2008 -- bootstrapping the company for the first three years with no full-time employees.

 

In August of 2011, we raise our first institutional funding and hired our first employees, and since that time we’ve grown to 30 team members becoming the third largest pureplay internet radio service among US millennials.

 

8tracks has always been about leveraging the crowd to create great musical experiences. It’s our users that create the programming, it’s our users that promote the programming, so it stood to reason that our users should also have an opportunity to invest directly in that programming.

 

We wanted to get a sense for whether or not our users would be interested in investing in 8tracks, and so we essentially ran an email survey -- what they call a “testing the waters” campaign, and the results far exceeded expectations.

 

We had $32,000,000 of interest from over 35,000 individual people. Our campaign has generated the largest number of prospective investors of any equity-based crowdfunding campaign to date.

 

Because of the amazing response, we filed with the SEC to become one of the first digital music companies to take advantage of equity-based crowdfunding.

 

Our userbase already today feels some sort of sense of psychological ownership in the company, and with crowdfunding, they can actually own part of the company in an economic sense.

 

New funding will better allow us to serve our DJs that create the programming, our listeners who tune in to that programming, the brands and agencies that sponsor that programming, and ultimately the artists and labels who provide the content for that programming.

 

Funding will allow us to build out our music library by adding millions of tracks which DJs can then tap when curating a playlist.

 

We’ll make it dead simple for listeners to find the type of playlists that they like based on their taste and context. Finally we’ll allow listeners to tune into new devices in the automobile and in the home, and we’ll look to return 8tracks to a global audience.

 

We’re excited to enable our community to invest in the future of 8tracks.Please visit seedinvest.com/8tracks to learn more. We greatly appreciate your support, and it’s inspiring to see our community come together to make this a reality.
