Make tools for live streamers (core business today, but we are building more. A lot more...)
Empower creators to do more
Why does this matter ============= * When you power someone's creative process - you touch them in their heart. That's a special connection. * Creator economy is the future. Average size of the firm is shrinking: agricultural revolution -> industrial revolution -> tech boom -> creator revolution (avg size of 1) * Live streaming: (1) 1B+ viewers and growing, (2) live video streaming is estimated to grow to $70B segment by 2021 (est. @ $30B in 2016), (3) large market that will continue to grow * Creator/influencer ecosystem is even larger if you include Instagram, Snapchat, Patreon and others * How we interact with the people we admire (high engagement) and how we consume content (live) will continue to evolve and continue to be a bigger and bigger part of our lives * In short, we are fueling the creator economy by building essential tools to empower creators. We will enable these creators to turn their passion into a career. We will reach >1B fans. We will build communities. That is impact!
