TUBBR, world’s first personal social network has raised angel funding from Global Ascent Partners and International Growth Consulting & VC fund based in Austin, Texas, according to YourStory report.
The Frisco-based startup will use the funds to support TUBBR PRO, which will be unveiled in January 2021.
Founded by Saurabh Uttam and Ravi Singhal, TUBBR lets the user have a discrete private or public space, TUBBR Walls, to create stories, share, chat, and collaborate with people based on their interest.
“Existing social networks have lost the trust of the very users who allowed them to win in the first place. Consumers want more than a network — they want communities to connect to, have control on their content, and opportunity to monetise that content,” Saurabh said.
“The future of social networking is discrete, personal, and collaborative. That’s the sentiment in almost any social media or tech conference. TUBBR helps creators with meaningful and personalised engagement because consumers are now moving away from the main feeds of major social networks to smaller micro communities,” Saurabh added.
TUBBR claims it has more than 200,000 users and believes it can connect with the next billion people who are part of micro communities.
“TUBBR is the only social media platform that lets you share stories with the right audience, hence bringing the ‘Relevance’ back into the social networks. All your stories are organised by Walls you create and not profiles! This architecture provides you with complete control over everything! And unlike other apps, feeds are horizontally designed to restrict spamming, an AI that doesn’t manipulate your newsfeed as it’s always updated chronologically with no ads to ruin your browsing experience either,” the company’s LinkedIn page states.
