Our take
Founded in 2007, SoundCloud recognized the need for an artist-first platform. The company set out with a clear mission: to empower independent artists by providing them with the necessary tools and resources to grow and build their careers.
Today, SoundCloud boasts over 40M artists on its platform, far outpacing Spotify, which has 11M. As a result, SoundCloud is the largest audio discovery platform in a rapidly growing market. According to MIDiA Research, the independent artist market is poised for continued revenue growth in the coming years, further solidifying SoundCloud's place in the industry.
The company plans to scale its audience and expand its services through new offerings, such as the SoundCloud "roster". This tier system is designed to provide artists with significant creative and financial resources, along with market support, rivalling major record labels. While artists retain ownership of their copyrights, they will be represented by SoundCloud, further enhancing the platform's appeal to independent creators.
