Trying to survive as a music tech startup can be brutal. At this past May’s FlashFWD Award Ceremony, hosts Jeff and Eric Rosenthal even took a moment to reflect on some of the companies that we “lost” this past year including AOL Music and the “old” Myspace.

So it’s unsurprising that when we caught a glimpse of this infographic from Chicago-based designer Jadam Kahn, we noticed that many of these little hopefuls from 2007 didn’t make it in the long run. What is surprising, is the rather large number that have, including: Shazam, Pandora, The Orchard, Last.FM, Beatport, Slacker, eMusic, Rhapsody… ok maybe not the majority, but these companies have proven that with a great product you can prosper.
