Who We Are 🙋
un:hurd is a music-tech platform that uses proprietary technology to build best in class marketing and promotional tools for artists. We’re empowering independent artists by creating an ecosystem where they can create, market and promote in one space, helping them to take the next steps in their career on their own terms.
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 18 months 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 18 months we’ve reached some milestones we’re really proud of, including:
- Featured on Dragons Den.
- Being listed as one of Music Ally’s ‘start-ups to watch’.
- Being voted as a Music Ally si:x start-up finalist.
- Participants in the Marathon Music and Wallifornia Accelerator programs.
- Helped over 50,000 artists reach their goals.
- AIM Entrepreneur of the year nominee.
- Winning the Antler x ADE start-up competition.
After a successful global launch of our iOS app, we’re expanding our team and looking for a dedicated, passionate and talented Product/Project Manager to grow with us and deliver a market-leading product to ‘level the playing field’ for independent artists and record labels.
