Start Up Focus :The making and funding of Spotify

Not many know that it was a rejection from Google which made " Daniel what he has achieved today As a 16 year old he was turned away when he applied for a job at Google. This, daniel says was a start of a journey and a turning point " when he undertook a resolution' of not letting age interfere with his knowledge and subsequently gave birth to an idea, which he has since never looked back
The idea behind Spotify was " the opportunity" it gave to the sputtering music industry to create an alternative to music-piracy services such as Napster. Spotify gives a cut of the revenue to record labels and music publishers, which in turn pay out their artists and songwriters at varying rates.
The major labels – Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group, Sony Corp.’s Sony Music Entertainment and Access Industries’ Warner Music Group – also own about 15%of the company, collectively. Spotify reported in November that its 2013 revenue was €747 million ($842 million) and it lost €57.8 million ($65 million).

1:50 PM /

Apple launched
Both announcements came, well, without
announcements of any sort; the new iPod quietly appeared in Apple's online
store last night, and company spokespeople mentioned the sales milestone in a conversation with blogger Jim Dalrymple. There isn't a related press release to be found.
The
$229 device features the same slim form factor, A5 chip, 4" Retina display
and iOS 6 operating system as Apple's other Touch models, but lacks the
rear-facing camera and larger storage capacities of the previous Touches.
Available only in one configuration (16GB of storage paired with a black &
silver finish), the newest iPod will ship within 24 hours and be available in
Apple retail stores tomorrow.

The Making of the iTunes Ecosystem
12:55 PM /

During the October iPhone event Apple
gave an update on the app and song download totals. This is a reliable gauge of
the iTunes ecosystem performance and Apple has been supplying these numbers for
several years. By Plotting This numbers and data gives us a good idea of the trend in mobile content consumption.
(data Source:Asymco)
 |
The total number of
apps downloaded (excluding updates) overtook songs in June/July and continues
on its trajectory. In fact, the rate of downloads for Apps is now over 1
billion / month. Given the data points above, I calculate it to be about 34
million per day. The corresponding rate for songs is 8.3 million per day.( source )
|
 |
After paying the
content owners, iTunes is left with about $75 million per month from apps and
$85 million per month from songs. At a billion
downloads a month (and rising) the value in terms of revenues is already a run
rate of $2.9 billion per year. This has been enough to overtake a business that
has been running for more than seven years. ( source )
