Cord * (Cord Project Inc.) was a consumer communication startup building simple, fast voice messaging that let people send short audio clips to one friend or broadcast to a whole group, delivered through iOS and Android mobile apps. Backed by GV and Index Ventures, the New York based team was acquired by Spotify in 2015, where the product formed the foundation of a group exploring new ways people interact with audio; the standalone apps and service were subsequently wound down. The company never published a public developer platform, API, SDK, or documentation surface, so this API Evangelist profile is retained as a historical portfolio-lead record with no active API artifacts to enrich.
