Groover takes a major step forward with the acquisition of Temple

At Techmind, we’re excited to share a major milestone for one of our portfolio companies: Groover has acquired the assets of Temple, a UK-based music tech startup specializing in direct-to-fan tools.

This acquisition, completed at a very competitive price and focused solely on the product (no employees involved), marks a strategic step forward for Groover as it expands its services beyond music promotion.

Temple by Groover: a new suite of tools for independent artists

With this acquisition, Groover officially launches Temple by Groover, a suite of tools designed to help artists:

• Create customizable link-in-bio microsites to showcase music, concerts, merch, and social media.

• Capture and manage their fans through built-in email and SMS tools, giving them more control over their audience.

• Access smart advertising solutions to reach new listeners and grow their fanbase.

In addition to its existing promotion platform that already connects over 650,000 artists across 180+ countries with media outlets and industry professionals, Groover is strengthening its role as a key partner for independent musicians.

A step toward sustainable careers

As Groover co-founder and CEO Romain Palmieri explains:

“With Temple by Groover, we’re taking things to the next level: empowering artists to own the relationship with their fans and grow their careers on their own terms.”

Temple, already widely adopted by artists for its customizable microsites and fan capture tools, now finds a unique growth engine within Groover’s ecosystem.

Why this matters

For Techmind, an investor in Groover since 2021, this acquisition reflects our conviction that artist-centered models - those that give creators the right tools to build direct relationships with their fans - are shaping the future of independent music.

We’re enthusiastic about this new chapter and look forward to seeing how Temple by Groover will help artists turn listeners into thriving, sustainable communities.
