Jamendo closes Series A funding from Mangrove Capital Partners
We are thrilled to announce that we just closed a significant amount of Series A funding from Mangrove Capital Partners, the well-known early backer of Skype.
Jamendo allows users to listen and download for free more than 40.000 DRM-less music tracks under Creative Commons license. So far, 3 million albums have been legally downloaded from the Jamendo platform, which currently counts 500.000 unique visitors per month. Since January 2007, Jamendo offers to its artists a Revenue Share program: half of the advertising revenue are shared with the registered artists.
Laurent Kratz Founder and CEO of Jamendo commented: “We are very proud to welcome Mangrove as a new shareholder in our company. We share the same vision of the future of music. With this funding, we plan to become the undisputed global player of free music. More than a music sharing platform we are economically supporting and promoting the long tail of music. We have a proven business model where music is not only proposed for free to end consumers but we are also closing an increasing number of partnership agreements and licensing deals.”
Alongside personal pages, pictures and videos, Jamendo is the fourth pillar on which young bands, musicians and unsigned artists are relying to promote their music and image on the global scale. With a strong presence in most of Continental and Central European markets, Jamendo intends to allocate dedicated resources to manage the acceleration of traffic and content acquisition in regions like North America, Brazil, India and Russia. It will also increase the cultural diversity of both the music and the user feedbacks.
“With the aim at becoming the biggest independent music portal online, we believe Jamendo is the most appropriate and flexible answer to the current online revolution that the music industry is facing: providing unsigned artists with revenue opportunities all the while enabling the users to listen and download music for free”, said David Waroquier, of Mangrove Capital Partners.
