Market
This is the future. We won't be buying files, moving files, and listening to files. We'll be
streaming audio from the cloud onto our connected devices in our homes and offices,
and onto our mobile devices at the gym, on the bike, in the car, etc. And I think mobile
streaming audio is going to be huge.
- Fred Wilson, January 2011

Internet Audio 2011
• Cloud music service launched by Amazon.com
• Pandora IPO ($100M raise)
• Spotify launch in US ($100M funding)
• RDIO additional $17.5M funding
• Slacker raised $3M additional funding
• Clearchannel acquired Thumbplay
• Soundcloud raised $10M
• Targetspot raised $8M
on a VC perspective
Market Opportunities
• Growth: new listening occasions (work, mobile/smartphones, in-car)
• FM licenses used to be a barrier. With Internet in the car, play-field is open to new services (i.e. Pandora investing aggressively). But they are focused mainly on music.
• Clear opportunity for UGC + Community in this space (see what Youtube has done with TV screen producers)
Business Model
Problem
• Creating and distributing Live audio is not easy
• It is hard to get an audience
• Monetizing audio (live or podcasts) is hard
Solutions
• Make it really simple to create & share live audio
• Create a ‘reference site’ for UGC audio on the internet
• Revenue sharing with content producers
Strategy
• Enter the market thanks to demand for Long Tail content (not feasible on traditional channels)
• Monetize towards the head of the curve (eg. YouTube: 30% videos make 99% of views)
Revenue model
Metrics
•200,000 Unique Listeners
•160,000 Unique site visitors
•1,600,000 Page views
•40,000 Audio broadcasts
