The Echo Nest wins NSF SBIR Phase II Grant

We’re thrilled to announce that The Echo Nest has received an NSF SBIR Phase II grant. (We won the Phase I in 2007.) The Nest was recently at the grantees conference in Baltimore where we met some fellow grantees and caught up with some old friends. We’d show you pictures, but they’d mostly be of Tristan in bed (he got sick) and Brian trying to find McNulty.

The grant supports The Echo Nest’s continued development of our “Musical Brain,” a large-scale data mining platform that actually reads about music and listens to music everywhere on the internet.
