Eric Wahlforss, SoundCloud co-founder, said: “We’re hugely honoured to be placed so high on the Tech Media Invest list. It’s exciting to be making such an impact as a business in such a short space of time, and testament to the hard work and innovation of our team. It’s a great boost for us as we work towards our goal of becoming the ultimate home for audio on the web.”
