There might be 1000s of startups with different path-breaking ideas and invincible revenue models but SPOTIFY during its initial days was more about its splendid team and failed attempts to get music rights. This limited web-series wonderfully displays SPOTIFY's journey with all its aspects through its core team members' journeys on screen. I really liked the categorization of episodes. As I belong to the software industry, I liked the Coder episode the most. Even the lawyer's journey was stunningly beautiful. The swagger Daniel Ek carried throughout the series was worth noticing and honestly, he outperformed all other characters by miles. It's not just Spotify's journey but it also called forth the struggle of music artists and singers behind this giant music instant streaming company. So it's not about all the positive impacts Spotify has left on its users but also about its impingement of the artists values and their remuneration. The court drama was bang on in the last episode. It's not all technical, so it is for all. A good web-series for professionals like MBA graduates, lawyers, techies, etc. A special mention for the background music which had to be top-notch for obvious reasons.
