The story

Founded in 2015 as BigBrainLab, Chartmetric rebranded and focused on music analytics, aggregating streaming and social data for artists, labels, distributors, and managers. The company has remained a lean, VC-backed startup (45 employees) serving both B2B and B2C customers globally. Its embedded finance footprint is minimal — primarily Stripe for payments and tax compliance — reflecting a SaaS-first business that has outsourced all financial infrastructure rather than building or embedding it.
