Google pagó $39M por la curación de música con IA basada en la actividad y el estado de ánimo — luego cerró Songza 6 meses después de la adquisición e integró la tecnología en Google Play Music
Error fatal: Songza built AI-curated music playlists based on activity, mood, and time of day. Raised $10M. 5.5M monthly users. Google acquired Songza for $39M in July 2014. Google used Songza's music curation technology for Google Play Music and eventually Google Music. Shut Songza in January 2015 — 6 months after acquisition. Curation features integrated into Google Play Music.
Evaluando solo el perfil de Songza en su pico —sin conocer el desenlace— el modelo situó Adquisición fallida como causa nº1. Es exactamente como murió.
