Anthems Media Inc. operates as a social platform centered on music discovery and sharing, delivered through its mobile application, Anthems. The company was incorporated in 2020 and is backed by accelerator Berkeley SkyDeck. The platform's inception was driven by co-founder Jack Diserens's observation that sharing music often reverted to the rudimentary method of sending links, a stark contrast to the seamless sharing available for other life activities. This led to a collaboration with co-founder Naveen Sridhar, whom Diserens met in March 2020 through a mutual advisor. Recognizing their shared vision, they officially launched their venture in June 2020, starting with a beta version released to 350 users.
The business provides a dedicated space for users to showcase their musical tastes and establish themselves as tastemakers. The core of the service is a mobile app that integrates with Spotify, allowing users to share their current "anthem" or song rotations in an interactive format. Unlike a music streaming service, Anthems functions as a community layer on top of existing services, enabling users to follow others, discuss music, and discover new tracks and artists through the community's activity. Key features include personalized daily throwback songs, the ability to create and share stylized top-five mixes, and participate in daily community song prompts. The app aims to serve music enthusiasts who feel their passion isn't adequately served by mainstream social media platforms.
The company's primary product is the Anthems app, available for both iOS and Android devices. It allows users to build a music collection by "signing" artists to their personal roster and contributing songs to community-wide topics, which enhances their reputation on the platform. The app facilitates social interaction through features like a content feed, direct messaging, and following other users to see their music timelines. Revenue generation is indicated by the presence of in-app purchases and a paid version, suggesting a freemium business model. The platform has received funding totaling over $100K, including an angel round in March 2024.
