Epidemic Sound, the world's leading soundtracking platform, has selected Atlar to manage cash, payments, and forecasting across six financial partners, with a native NetSuite integration.
Solving the creator's oldest headache
Anyone who's posted a video with music knows what usually happens next. A copyright claim rolls in, maybe a takedown, maybe you lose your ability to monetize your content. It's been this way for as long as there's been a YouTube.
Epidemic Sound took a different route. Since 2009, the Stockholm-founded company has built a catalog of over 50,000 tracks that it fully owns. No middlemen or collecting societies, no copyright complications or takedowns. Creators and brands pay for access and get every right included.
A model like that only works if the music holds up. Theirs does. Epidemic Sound's catalog now reaches 3 billion views daily across YouTube and TikTok. The company has grown to more than 500 people, with offices in Stockholm, London, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Oslo, and Seoul. Backed by EQT and Blackstone, they hit unicorn status in 2021 and turned cash-flow positive in 2024.
Why Atlar, why now
A company operating across seven offices and six financial partners generates complexity. Epidemic Sound's finance team chose Atlar to bring cash visibility, payment execution, and forecasting into a single platform connected to NetSuite, as the company prepares for its next chapter of growth.
Sebastian Snickars, Treasury Manager at Epidemic Sound, says:
“We needed a platform that could give us real-time cash visibility across all our banks, and further improve our liquidity, forecasting and risk management capabilities, while eliminating the manual work. With Atlar we will be able to provide both financial and strategic value to the company, as it lets us focus on what's ahead instead of chasing data.”
We're proud to welcome them to Atlar.
