What the company did
Keym was a Luxembourg-based social networking platform for the music industry, founded in 2021 by Thionville residents Michael Gonzalez (business developer) and Xavier Michely (artist manager and studio owner). Described as LinkedIn for the music industry, it gave music professionals a platform to find each other and collaborate via advanced search filters (location, experience, instrument, genre), and served as a portfolio for showcasing projects to their network. In June 2023 it closed a 1 million euro pre-seed round.
