Abbey Road Red is a unique incubation programme based at the world famous Abbey Road Studios. Designed to support the brightest music tech entrepreneurs, researchers and developers, the global programme involves the Studios selecting and mentoring 3 of the most promising and innovative music tech start ups, and then working with them for 6 months to help develop and grow their businesses. The 1st phase of the programme went live on Monday March 14th, and the deadline for submission for phase 2 – which commences in September - is Friday 17th June.  Submissions are recruited through an open process of online submission, followed by multiple rounds of assessment, pitching and selection.
 
 Providing a bespoke mentorship programme delivered by executives and experts from both Abbey Road Studios and Universal Music, and unparalleled access to Abbey Road’s facilities and international network of contacts, the inaugural 3 companies were announced as OSSIC, UberChord and CloudBounce in March. OSSIC have since raised $2.7m on Kickstarter.
 
Building on an unrivalled 85 year legacy of developing ground breaking technological advances, Abbey Road Red ensures Abbey Road’s place as the creative hub for technological pioneers now, and for the future.
 
Abbey Road Studios’ Managing Director Isabel Garvey said: 
“Abbey Road is an extraordinary place that has been instrumental in developing and utilising state of the art technology since it opened in 1931. Abbey Road Red shows that we are passionate about remaining ahead of the technological arc and are committed to embracing the future, as well as being incredibly proud of our legacy.”
 
Jon Eades, Project Manager, Abbey Road Red said: 
“ At Abbey Road we are committed early adopters of technological advances in sound and recording and we have a well documented history to prove this. Abbey Road Red is our way of working with today’s innovators – the music tech start ups who are defining the future and creating new technologies.  We are very much looking forward to working with our second intake to the incubator and helping them each to grow their businesses while learning from them in the process.”
