Gimme Radio

Gimme Radio is a digital media startup that aims to build communities for passionate music fans. Founded in 2017 by digital music veterans from Apple Music, Google Play, Beats Music, and Rhapsody, Gimme offers interactive audio and video experiences beyond digital streams and algorithms. The platform's suite of engagement and discovery features helps to create global communities of highly valuable music listeners. With multiple revenue channels including digital and physical subscriptions, virtual tipping, ecommerce, and ticketing, Gimme maximizes monetization. The platform has garnered support from over 1,000 artists and tastemakers who participate as hosts, handpicking every track, video, and movie played and interacting directly with users through live chat. Gimme Radio's approach is geared towards fostering strong relationships between artists, brands, and their fans. With communities in the metal and country genres, including 5 audio streams and 2 video streams, the startup is trusted by industry leaders like the wholly owned subsidiary of SONY Music, The Orchard, and Concord Music. The company's product development began in January 2017 and the global 24/7 metal music community was launched on June 27, 2017, followed by an Americana/country community in the summer of 2019. In December 2020, Gimme introduced video streaming channels for both genres, available on iOS, Android, and the web. The company's most recent venture round investment was at October 18, 2022 and the investor involved was Goodwater Capital. With its innovative approach and strong industry partnerships, Gimme Radio is poised for further expansion and success.
