Now Powering Music Intelligence For Spotify, VEVO & More, Echo Nest Nabs $17M To Go Big Abroad
There's a good chance that you've never heard of The Echo Nest. As a self-professed music intelligence company, Echo Nest at its best when running quietly behind the scenes, providing developers with insight into their listeners' musical tastes and behaviors.
