SoundCloud

We are an online music platform founded in 2007. We help artists build and grow their careers by providing tools and resources. Our platform allows artists and fans to connect, share, and stream music. We host over 400 million tracks from more than 40 million artists, creating a large online community.

We handle global content licensing and partnerships with record labels, publishers, collecting societies, and PROs. We distribute music to global streaming services and manage royalty operations. Our work involves navigating music rights issues, including those related to AI and Web 3.0 technologies, and focusing on product innovation, legal, safety, and operational excellence. This includes managing copyright and Trust & Safety, implementing privacy-by-design, and supporting international product launches like SoundCloud Go/Go+. You can access our platform through web browsers and dedicated apps for Android, iOS, Apple Watch, and CarPlay.

Our mission is to empower artists and fans to connect and share through music. We are an artist-first platform, providing tools and resources for artists to build and grow their careers. We help shape how music and audio are created, discovered, and shared globally. We value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we are committed to employee development.
