It’s been some time since we heard from UJAM, the music startup that launched (and was runner-up) at TechCrunch Disrupt NYC 2010. The service launched in a private alpha last May, and quietly opened its doors to the public in December. And since then, nada. But now they’re back.
The reason for the quiet, says UJAM cofounder Peter Gorges, is that the company has been heads-down for the last six… → Read More
During our first TechCrunch Disrupt conference in New York last May, the startup that nearly stole the show and was the obvious audience favorite was Ujam, a sophisticated Web-based music creation site which lets even tone-deaf people like me compose songs. During their demo at Disrupt, angel investor Chris Sacca, who was one of the judges, took it upon himself to test the application onstage and… → Read More
Something that I loved about TechCrunch Disrupt last week is that the top two startups that launched in the competition weren’t from the U.S. – winner Soluto is based in Israel, and runner up UJAM is a German startup.

Of those twenty just ten made it to the second round, where the focus was on the business model. After long deliberations, and after calculating the total score of… → Read More
Today at TechCrunch Disrupt in New York City the Startup Battlefield got off to a quick start. Ujam, a service which lets you take any melody in your head and turn it into an actual piece of music with a few mouse clicks wowed the crowd. But they used a professional singer for their demo. So what better way to prove the product than to get one of the Battlefield judges to sing? That’s exactly what… → Read More
We all have them: those brief, spontaneous little melodies that pop into the back of our heads, undoubtedly destined for greatness if only we had an ounce of musical talent or a five piece band at our disposal. Well, now you wannabe-maestros have your chance. UJAM is a new startup making its debut today at TechCrunch Disrupt that can turn your humming, whistling, kazoo-playing or not-so-in-tune… → Read More
