All In Interview - Daniel Ek - Recap and Notes - September 28 2026

September 28 2026 (from Gemini) Co-founder & Executive Chairman of Spotify, Co-founder of Neko Health The Origins of Spotify & Replicating the Playbook: Ek launched Spotify in 2006 at age 23 during an era when music piracy was rampant and the industry was in freefall. To secure early licensing, Ek and his partners guaranteed record labels that they would meet their yearly budgets and bonuses regardless of the platform's success.
