THE COMPANY FILES
Audio streaming
Spotify
Spotify is the audio-streaming business co-founded by Daniel Ek, bringing a digital listening service together with tools for artists and other creators.
Explore the offeringThe business behind the name
Ek's biography follows the development of Spotify from a software-led entrepreneurial project into an audio platform. The company's history concerns access: how listeners discover audio and how creators make their work available. Those two sides of the service have different needs but meet in the same platform.
How the offering fits together
Listeners encounter recommendations, catalogues and playback features. Artists and publishers encounter distribution, audience information and other tools around their work. Spotify's commercial activity connects those experiences through paid and advertising-supported listening. Specific plans and features change, so the company's current product documentation remains the reference for availability.
