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.

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.
