Endlesss is a cloud-connected mobile and desktop app that turns music creation into a live, collaborative social event where musicians and fans can interact in real-time from anywhere in the world. The company argues that despite users making music, sharing that piece of music is a long and lonely process that takes days or months, requires multiple different apps and services, and carries no guarantee on whether those songs would be heard or not. Endlesss aims to change this via its software. The company witnessed over 9,000 sign-ups in May 2021, oversaw over 40,000 jams and 2.6 million riffs being created in 2020, and has spread across 100+ countries. Endlesss aspires to dominate the music creation software market that is expected to grow to $1.86 billion by 2027, up from $884 million in 2020. The company has received acclaim from entities such as Verge, TechCrunch and Pitchfork. Endlesss states it will use the investment to grow its team, develop new features, boost marketing, and promote Research & Development (R&D) to grow its business.
