Ingrooves was founded in 2002 with a mission to create the “digital record label of the future”. As one of the first independent distribution companies to partner with iTunes, the start-up began to build its retail network. In its early days, The San Francisco Business Times profiled the company and called Ingrooves “a powerful growing force to decentralize the power base of the music industry”. Partnership by partnership, Ingrooves has ultimately built a global retail network of over 600 services & storefronts.
