Crafted with Passion.

Founder Daniel Spijker combines his love for music and technology to drive Cratebase's mission of supporting the physical music community. With extensive experience in collecting and selling music, a tech career at Facebook, building NearMint, and working at Discogs, he felt the need for better tools for physical music sales.

Together with his team and partnering with Vinyl.eu, he developed the prototype for Cratebase, focusing on streamlining fulfillment operations and multi-channel selling. Since the initial beta in 2022, Cratebase has added numerous integrations, carrier connections, and its own international shipping service.

With a passion for vinyl and a deep understanding of tech and the music industry, Daniel is dedicated to helping the Cratebase community of record stores, sellers, and labels grow and thrive.
