Pandora recently faced stiff competition from latecomer Spotify, which has managed to capture some buzz from recent announcements, such as its move open up the service to third-party developers. Spotify said a few months ago that it has 3 million paying customers.
But Pandora believes it is at the early stages of the growth curve.
“We truly believe this is just the beginning,” he said.
Pandora, for example, is working to get its service integrated into cars from virtually all automakers. In many cars, Pandora will be placed next to the traditional radio.
Kennedy also noted that its entire user base is in the United States.
