Chicago-based Reverb.com is doing really great things.  Just recently the company (that sells instrument and music gear online) launched its e-commerce site for music collectors.  Specializing in vinyl it is anticipated that this move will bolster the firm’s success, when it goes live later this year.

And with an injection of $15 million in funding, Reverb is clearly making a name for itself in the tech industry.  Big names like Max Levchin (co-founder of PayPal) and Adam Bain (ex-COO at Twitter) are making investments in the firm which will be used for new employee hires as well as the expansion of the company, worldwide.

Not surprisingly therefore, the company also landed a place on Inc. Magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list.
