About Soundbrenner
Soundbrenner brings great design and advanced technology to every musician on the planet, with the goal to help musicians master their craft. We do that by creating an integrated platform, consisting of a wearable and mobile app. It’s the one central piece of software that brings musicians together and that is designed to be used every single time music is played anywhere.
We’re headquartered in Hong Kong and operate an additional office in Berlin. We currently employ a full-time staff of 12. To date we sold and shipped over 30,000 units. Our apps are used by over 100,000 musicians every month. We’ve raised over $2 million USD in funding from investors. We were featured in the New York Times, Techcrunch, Gizmodo and around a dozen of other international press outlets. While we are proud of the progress we made so far, we still consider ourselves to be at the very beginning of what is to come.
