History
[edit]The company was founded in Toronto in 1999.
In December 2014, Yangaroo announced a partnership with IMD Fastrax, the music distribution arm of delivery company IMD. The partnership enabled North American record labels and recording artists to deliver their music videos to the UK and Ireland via the IMD Fastrax platform.[1]
In January 2020, Yangaroo reported that the TSX Venture Exchange had approved the company's proposal for a regular course issuer offer for up to 3 million shares of its common stock, which constituted 5% or less of the company's issued and outstanding securities.[2]
In 2020, Yangaroo also formed a partnership with Universal Music Canada.[3]
