Midemlab jury includes prominent investors, CEOs, analysts and journalists

Midem has unveiled the jury of its annual Midemlab competition, a platform for music-oriented startups to pitch their ideas, get feedback from experienced players and hopefully go on to bigger and better things. 

The competition has a good track record having seen companies like SoundCloud, The Echo Nest and Kickstarter participate in the program over the years.

The jury includes high-profile figures like Tunecore’s CEO, Pandora’s CFO, Google’s Public Policy Senior Manager, VCs, journalists and more (a full list is below). 

    •    Scott Ackerman, CEO, TuneCore (USA)

    •    Romain Amblard, Acceleration Director, NUMA (France)

    •    Elisabeth Bargès, Public Policy Senior Manager, Google (France)

    •    Paul Brindley, CEO, Music Ally (UK)

    •    Martin Duval, President & COO, Bluenove (France)

    •    Dave Haynes, Business Development, Seedcamp (UK)

    •    Mike Herring, CFO, Pandora (USA)

    •    Hugh McIntyre, Contributor, Forbes (USA)

    •    Richard Menneveux, CEO,  AdsVark Media /FrenchWeb.fr (France)

    •    Molly Neuman, Head of Music, Kickstarter (USA)

    •    Chris O'Brien, European Correspondent, VentureBeat (France/USA)

    •    Mark Piibe, EVP Global Business Development & Digital Strategy, Sony Music Entertainment (USA)

    •    Gerrit Schumann, Chief International Officer, Deezer (UK/Germany)

Midem has been battling a gradual decline in the number of attendees, however it is still one of the best places to meet and mingle with both seasoned executives and up-and-coming digital music companies in a setting that is far less stressul than SXSW. This year's conference will take place between the 3rd and 6th of June in Cannes.
