About Earbits

Earbits is Google Adwords for music, an online radio platform where record labels, bands and concert promoters bid on a pay-per-listen basis for radio airtime and use the exposure to acquire fans and market their promotions. Investors include Y Combinator, Charles River Ventures, former Lala CEO Goeff Ralston, and Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg.

We Love Music

Earbits is empowering artists, creating real, tangible value, and further eliminating the need for artists to have big budgets and expensive PR efforts to get exposure to quality fans. We are displacing the need for bands to use display and text advertising for their audio products by turning streaming music airtime into a commodity and marketplace. Come help us do for music what Google Adwords has done for nearly every other industry.
