If any of this is true, **music tech didn't get the memo** until after the end of 2015\. Last year, investments in music tech companies more than doubled to **$2 billion**.

Analysis by Music Ally shows just under $2 billion was invested in 36 music tech companies in 2015\. That's twice the $947 million invested in 33 companies in 2014\. Spotify alone raked in $526 million, or one quarter of all music tech investments last year.

2016 is promising to be a far tighter year for investments and dark clouds are forming over some big players like Soundcloud. But a possible IPO by Spotify could, if successful, reignite venture interest in music tech investment.
