"The Echo Nest is the world’s leading music intelligence company. We provide the largest repository of dynamic music data in the world – over a trillion data points on over 30 million songs -- to help application developers build smarter music apps.

Industry leaders such as Clear Channel, EMI, eMusic, MOG, MTV, Nokia, Rdio, Spotify, Twitter and a community of over 15,000 independent application developers all rely on The Echo Nest platform to reinvent the way you interact with music. To date, over 350 music applications have been built on The Echo Nest’s platform and our customers reach over 100 million music fans every month.

The Echo Nest was founded by MIT PhDs Brian Whitman and Tristan Jehan and is run by a fast-growing, insane group of scientists, engineers and music freaks. In addition to winning four National Science Foundation SBIR grants, we’re funded by Matrix Partners, Commonwealth Capital Ventures, Argos Management and a group of indivdual investors, including three founders of the MIT Media Lab.

The company is headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in San Francisco, New York and London."
