SoundCloud.com

I joined SoundCloud as its 7th team member back in 2008, just a couple of months pre-launch. My first task was to sort out the launch party, and my last was to head up the creative commons licensing integration. During those 3 years, I learnt a ton about building a content platform for a creative community.
