#MusicTech Slush 2025
Amplitude Ventures conceived, ran and co-sponsored the startup accelerator of #MusicTech Slush 2025, together with Yamaha Music Innovations and Singa. Nine music-tech startups were selected. We worked through each company's business model, numbers and pitch with the founders, recorded a Sound of Startups episode with several of them, and they pitched to the jury in Helsinki during Slush week. Jakob also spoke on the panel "Music Tech Investment Playbook".
