TIM WESTERGREN
Current Status: Radio Revolutionary

Changing The Game By: Transforming how we listen to music. His online music-matching service Pandora is a digital jukebox that plays what it thinks you’ll like based on what you tell it you already like, then uses each new bit of feedback to further refine its selections, moving ever closer to programming your perfect radio station. It also makes it easy to buy anything you hear that you really like. Founded by Westergren -- a walking musical encyclopedia -- almost a decade ago, Pandora is eclipsing the likes of AOL Music, MySpace Music and Slacker -- and the growth is coming from mobile phones. Of the 65,000 users who sign up each day for a radio station imprinted with their own DNA, 45,000 listen to the music on their phones.

Killer Quote: “What eBay did for the mom and pop businesses, Pandora is doing for music.”
