Today on Next Gen Now Rudina Seseri is joined by Johanna Hartzheim from Qleeks to discuss how music and technology are intersecting in response to consumer preferences.
Qleeks are shortcuts to playlists, artists and podcasts. They combine the intimate experience of a record with the convenience of online streaming. They have customizable artwork and make playing online music a simple ritual with the touch and visceral appeal of wood. The company is backed by Bolt, a VC for hardware startups. We're a team of 3 co-founders, myself who leads product development, Ismail is the CEO and Pierre-Rudolf the CTO.
They are currently shipping a pilot of 500 units worldwide and have a backlog of 2000 direct orders. Qleeks also have pending POs from Urban Outfitters and Amazon. And are signing deals with indie labels for exclusive content on the Qleek store.
