Auddia is a small, early-stage digital audio company based in Boulder, CO that operates two connected products. The first, faidr, is a mobile app that lets consumers stream AM/FM radio stations commercial-free. Auddia's proprietary AI detects and replaces ad breaks in real time with music from emerging artists, giving listeners the local content of broadcast radio without commercials. Faidr is currently free to consumers. The second product, Discovr Radio, launched in January 2026 as a B2B platform where artists, managers, and labels pay a SaaS subscription to have their songs inserted into faidr's ad-break replacement slots on live radio streams. The platform includes an AI-driven placement engine and an artist portal with analytics on plays and engagement. The two products form a two-sided network: faidr supplies the listener audience, and Discovr Radio monetizes that audience by selling promotional placement to artists and labels. Auddia's core value proposition to B2B customers is guaranteed plays on live AM/FM streams — something Auddia argues no other digital platform offers. Auddia previously charged consumers a monthly subscription for faidr but dropped that model in 2026 in favor of the B2B approach. Revenue now depends on growing the Discovr Radio subscriber base and the faidr listener base, the latter of which determines the value of inventory sold to artists. Auddia has 5 full-time employees and is also pursuing a proposed business combination with Thramann Holdings that would fold in three other early-stage AI companies and rename the combined entity McCarthy Finney.
