Andres Barreto launched several startups, including Grooveshark and what other?
Grooveshark Grooveshark was a web-based music streaming service owned and operated by Escape Media Group in the United States. Users could upload digital audio files, which could then be streamed and organized in playlists. The Grooveshark website had a search engine, music streaming features, and a music recommendation system.
Spinnup Spinnup is an online digital music distribution service that launched early 2013. Spinnup is a DIY distribution platform that offers an aggregator service to musicians and unsigned artists so they can distribute their music worldwide via online retailers such as Deezer, Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Tidal, Rhapsody, Amazon Music and Google Play. The site also has a network of ‘scouts’ who are looking to discover and mentor new talent on Spinnup and help them find a record deal. As a Universal Music owned company, the scouts have a relationship with A&Rs at Universal Music's labels and meet with them regularly to pitch music and artists they find on Spinnup.
