History
A Cappella Records launched as an exclusively-digital record label on May 19, 2009. At that time, the organization participated in UCSC's first annual business model competition, but they were removed from the competition in the semi-finals round. Following their elimination from the 2009 USCS competition, they continued growing the label from an initial six albums to 25 artists, 500 tracks, and 30 albums in their first year. In 2010, the label returned to the business model competition and won first place, along with a $12,000 cash prize. That same year, the label represented four of the 10 groups competing on NBC's The Sing-Off.
