Benjamin is building the future of music collaboration. His digital platform combines machine learning technologies with the latest neuroscience research, to connect musicians with collaborators and the wider music industry.
Since winning his first award, Benjamin has gone from two part-time to seven full-time employees and secured a seven-figure acquisition of some of his company’s live streaming technology.
Benjamin commented:
As an experienced young entrepreneur with a growing company it’s hard to dedicate time, resources and focus into developing new innovative technologies.
The Young Innovators award helps me and team focus on researching, testing and implementing cutting edge artificial intelligence technology. Giving the Aux app an edge over our competition in the music-tech space.
