The Madison, WI based startup recently closed their $1.2 million seed financing and recently partnered with concert promoters Frank Productions. LÜM's goal is to decrease the disparity between mainstream and undiscovered music by leveraging streaming with the amplification of social media. Artists upload their content and connect with fans on LÜM’s platform. Fans can easily share music with friends, create playlists and become influencers on the platform by discovering and sharing up-and-coming artists.
