PROFILE |
 |
Like, groovy tunes, man. Beatnik (formerly Headspace) makes software that integrates audio into a Web site in real-time (as opposed to being streamed or downloaded). The company's technology weaves sound files into the basic code of a Web page, enabling visitors at such sites as MTV.com, Yahoo!, and Beatnik.com to remix the songs of David Bowie, Puff Daddy, and other artists. The company licenses the Beatnik Audio Engine to Web developers and companies such as Macromedia, Nokia, and Sun Microsystems. Beatnik's investors include Sun, the Mayfield Fund, MTVi Group, Media 100, and Entertainment Media Ventures. Beatnik was founded in 1996 by Thomas Dolby Robertson, known for his 1980s tune "She Blinded Me With Science."
