Jamendo is start-up of the year - in Luxembourg
Jamendo has been awarded ‘Luxemburgish start-up of the year’ by iT-One ex-aequo with Conostix. Not exatly earth shattering I know, but it’s a start!
Jamendo is a new model for artists to promote, publish, and be paid for their music. The artists distribute their music under Creative Commons licenses. In a nutshell, they allow you to download, remix and share their music freely. It’s a “Some rights reserved” agreement, perfectly suited for the new century. Jamendo users can discover and share albums, but also review them or start a discussion on the forums. Albums are democratically rated based on the visitors’ reviews. If they fancy an artist they can support him by making a donation.
Founded May 2004. Shareholders are the Founders, Kratz, Gerard and Zimmer, and Mangrove Capital Partners.
