boombox.io Raises $7M in Seed Funding

Boombox.io, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of a collaboration platform for music makers, raised $7M in Seed funding.

The round was led by Forerunner with participation from super{set} startup studio and Ulu Ventures.

The company intends to use the funds to build out its team, accelerate product development, build new partnerships, and continue serving its base of early customers.

Launched in November 2022 and led by CEO Tom Chavez, boombox.io is a platform where music producers can store, version, and track all of their music files, collect time-stamped feedback on audio files, communicate on the go with iOS/Android apps, manage splits for songwriting and recordings, and create simple legally-binding contracts for song ownership.

The solution leverages Generative AI to enrich and extend a musician’s creative process with Boombot, an AI-powered collaborator that generates new ideas and fleshes out partial ones to make music creation more dynamic and smarter. Boombot helps users spitball lyrics and song titles, suggests chord progressions, and turns them into MIDI files creators can pull directly into their digital audio workstation. Purpose-built workflows enable creators to track and manage AI-generated ideas and evolve them on the fly with each other.
