Spotify AB

Spotify AB is a Stockholm-based media company best known for building one of the world’s largest music and podcast streaming services. Launched in 2008 by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, Spotify popularized on-demand streaming through a freemium model that mixes ad-supported listening with paid subscriptions. The company maintains a vast catalog spanning major labels, independents and a growing slate of podcast creators, and supports discovery through personalized playlists and data-driven recommendations.

Beyond its flagship consumer app, Spotify operates tools and services aimed at creators and industry partners. Apps available here include the main Spotify client, Spotify for Creators (which provides analytics, profile management and episode tools for podcasters and musicians), and regionally named entries like Spotify: Music & Podcasts. Spotify’s business milestones include a 2018 public listing in New York, a series of strategic acquisitions to expand podcasting capabilities, and high-profile seasonal features such as Wrapped that engage millions of users annually.
