The company has secured the investment and Trainor has taken on the position of CEO while Michael Weissman has been named COO. Ljung is now chairman of the board. In a blog post, Ljung said about the deal, "You've told me how, without SoundCloud, there would be a giant gaping void in today's world of music. We can't have that, and I'm happy to once again say that won't be happening."

Last month, SoundCloud announced that it would lay off 40 percent of its staff in order to cut costs after being forced to borrow $70 million in March in order to stay afloat. Among reports of severe mismanagement and irresponsible spending, the company said it wasn't going anywhere and with this new influx of cash, it seems that, for now, that will be the case.

Said Ljung, "This financing means SoundCloud remains strong, independent and here to stay. As I said, we're not going anywhere."
