MERGE

Don't just listen to music, listen to people







Our Mission:

Merge's primary mission is to provide a platform that aids people in the process of discovering and sharing music. Music is a powerful tool for creating and fostering relationships, and we aim to provide ways to encourage people to connect with friends and acquaintances through music.


Our Solution:

Merge's value is rooted in its ability to automate the process of music discovery and selection based on peers, while allowing users to easily share their music with others who would enjoy it.


Why We Matter:

The advent of digital music has brought with it plenty of tools for discovering new music. However, current music discovery tools do not address two significant aspects of the music discovery process; music is a incredibly social form of art that connects users, and users often associate certain songs, artists, and genres with specific places, activities, or friends. The social element of music discovery is so inherent to the process of music discovery that some users only listen to new songs or artists on the suggestion of a trusted friend. Currently, the only tools that users have to facilitate this social music discovery require users to actively participate in this process. Merge seeks to remedy this by automating the process of music discovery and selection based on music preferences of peers.
