Spotify to Acquire Findaway
Sarah Perez writes the following for TechCrunch:In an effort to expand beyond music, Spotify has been investing hundreds of millions to build out its podcasts business.

Spotify declined to share the financial terms of the deal, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory review and approval. … Spotify is bringing in Findaway’s full team of around 150, it says, and then plans to build on Findaway’s existing investments in the audio industry. It also plans to bring expanded access to audiobooks to Spotify’s 381 million monthly active users. For more information, read the article.
