VNUE, the renowned multi-faceted music technology company, is currently acquiring StageIt, as the company expands it services including mobile content distribution platform set.fm (www.set.fm), exclusive license partner and "instant live" pioneer DiscLive (www.disclive.net), and protecting the rights of artists and writers with the company's Soundstr music recognition technology (MRT) (www.soundstr.com).
Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE, said he is thrilled with the number of fans who donated to the worthy cause, especially since this was the first successful "combining" of set.fm with VNUE's soon-to-be acquired StageIt, that also brought in enough funds to save the lives of many animals in need.
"I'm stoked that we were able to raise this incredible amount of money with Rob using innovative platforms like StageIt and Set.fm," said Bair. "Utilizing these technologies side by side is just the beginning of several exciting integrations that will take place as we continue to move forward, and the success of this event shows we are on the right path.
