Who We Are un:hurd is a music-tech platform that uses proprietary technology to transform music data into stronger promotional campaigns for artists. We've created our mobile and web platforms which are quickly becoming the ‘go-to digital marketing companion' for artists and record labels around the world. We are on our way to creating an ecosystem where artists can create, distribute and promote their music in one space. For years, artists have been 'shooting in the dark' when it comes to their marketing. There's a clear lack of robust, transparent and accessible marketing tools for musicians and artists to use to promote their music. We've spent the last three years proving our concept by working on campaigns with some of the most exciting artists in the world and we’re now looking to scale upon our initial traction. Over the past three years we’ve reached some milestones we’re really proud of, including: Featured on BBC’s Dragons Den Raising money from the world's leading Music-Tech investors Being listed as one of Music Ally’s ‘start-ups to watch’ Being voted as a Music Ally si:x start-up finalist AIM and Great British Entrepreneur of the year nominee Winning the Antler x ADE start-up competition Participants in the Marathon Music, Wallifornia Accelerator programs and BPI x Mayor Of London’s GROW initiative Helped over 135,000 artists and record labels reach their goals After a strong start, we now need to get a little more serious.
