Encore Music Technologies

Encore Music Technologies, Inc. ("Encore") is a consumer live-music technology company based in Los Angeles, California, founded in 2020 by Ian Edelman, Jonathan Gray, and recording artist Kid Cudi. Its mobile app lets artists perform live inside custom augmented-reality environments directly from a phone while fans join, react, and pay artists in real time through gamified microtransactions such as a ten-cent "clap." The company raised a $9M seed round led by Battery Ventures in February 2022, with participation from 468 Capital, Kayak Ventures, Parade Ventures, and others. Encore ships consumer iOS and Android apps rather than a public developer platform; as of this pass it exposes no documented public API, and its marketing website (clapforencore.com) does not currently resolve to a live server.

Encore Music Technologies is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Music, Live Music, Augmented Reality, and Consumer App.
