Aside from these big-tech behemoths, a growing number of startups such as Amper, Popgun, Jukedeck and Amadeus Code are building their own AI-powered composition and songwriting tools - productizing the cutting-edge tech not just for artists, but also for a mass market of music fans and consumers. Financially, these startups have also collectively raised millions of dollars of VC funding and institutional investment, as alumni of music startup accelerators like Techstars Music (which, notably, has backing from major record labels).
