I am co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Embarka Digital Media, Inc., a next generation Web 2.0 social marketplace. Embarka.com, when launched in February 2007, expects to be the first transaction-oriented international online B2C and B2B social marketplace and independent music portal.

Embarka Digital Media, Inc. (the “Company” or “embarka”) intends to become the leading portal and social marketplace for independent music worldwide using an aggressive acquisition strategy.

Our goal is to modernize the music industry and change how independent music and artists are discovered, how music is organized, shared,
and purchased and how concerts are booked, such that control shifts from the record labels to the artists and the consumer leveraging the power of the Internet.

Our unique music portal concept and integrated music scene technology, supports a worldwide marketplace, where musicians, fans and clubs meet to connect, interact, network, trade, buy and sell digital media creations and related merchandise. Embarka is an online marketplace where members make money.

Social marketplaces grow revenue from multiple sources with ad and search revenue supplementing transaction fees, premium service fees and other B2B revenue opportunities. Embarka will have the download and payment
features required to create a "micro-market" for members' digital media content.

Among the unique attributes of
Embarka is the fact that as a personal digital media publisher, we will target one or more artist vertical application. When combined with the viral nature of a social network, artist communities connect like-minded consumers and businesses in a transaction-oriented online marketplace. This is the future of digital media and independent publishing.

I noticed you found my ever-growing list of music 2.0 companies. I added Embarka, and am certainly interested in learning more - so, I just signed up for the beta....

I look forward to it! :-)
