Our goal is to be a one stop shop for all things fandom that sets the standard of social online responsibility for future generations. Members can create 15 second collaborative video responses to user generated topics to voice their opinions and combine 4 quip responses to share on other platforms.","story":"At our company, we spent a year interviewing and working with 300 hundred of our early adopters of cosplayers, gamers and geek content and event creators to create a platform where people feel supported in exploring their interests online.QuirkChat is a social video and collaboration platform for geeks and hobbyists that emphasized community moderation and community building.There are 3 main features to the streamlined update for\u0026nbsp;our app: Quips, Podchats and Squads.\u0026nbsp;QuipsMembers can create 15 second collaborative video responses to user generated topics to voice their opinions and combined 4 quip responses to share on other platforms. For example, if I wanted to give my opinion of Why K-Pop is better than country music, several other users could also chime in with a video response.SquadsQuirkChat has added all the tools for community organizers to take the connections they’ve made elsewhere on the app or on the internet and create channel chats for closer connections with like-minded individuals.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Business ModelOur business model is direct to consumer and in-app microtransactions. Similar to other gaming centric platforms, users can buy digital goods or tip their favorite creators with “Snacks”. For math, 1 qoin is $0.03 USD and Snacks cost between 35-250 qoins. These are already actions that users are familiar taking on adjacent platforms like Twitch and Discord.Competition, Financials and Exit Strategy*Projections in charts above are not guaranteed.Niche online spaces are the future and are positioning ourselves to be the platform of choice for community builders and candid geek fandom conversations If you would like to learn more about our company and support us while we build a better social network for the current and future generations, please download our app.","location":"Concord, NC","website":"https://www.quirktastic.co","total_amount_raised":82962,"total_investors":218,"is_funded":true,"is_active":true,"quality_score":2,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/quirktastic","https://www.quirktastic.co"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/39540/xxl_cropped_quirkvideo-wouldsailormoonbeatgoku.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/39540/large_cropped_Facebook__Instagram__Twitter.png","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/39540/standard_cropped_quirkvideo-wouldsailormoonbeatgoku.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/39540/standard_cropped_quirkvideo-wouldsailormoonbeatgoku.jpg","profile_video_url":"https://wefunder.wistia.com/medias/0dzjwvciwi"},"links":{"company_url":"https://www.quirktastic.co","twitter_url":"http://twitter.com/quirkchat","instagram_url":"http://instagram.com/quirkchat","blog_url":"https://news.quirktastic.co"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"28,000+ monthly active users in US, Canada, and Europe since March 2019"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Partnerships with HBO and Warner Bros."},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"~$200K revenue since app launch"},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Competitive landscape valuations ( $50 Billion)"}],"team":[{"id":445243,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:445243","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:176629","role":"founder","name":"Bee Law","title":"Founder and CEO","bio":"Cytogenetic scientist turned community-building champion.

Our app is absolutely FREE to use. We use microtransactions such as tipping, virtual goods and subscription, similar to Twitch, YouTube Gaming or even something like Patreon where you can tip and subscribe to your favorite creators or Squads (groups put together by the community). For example, if you had an online community and decided to create a Squad, you may decided to charge a $2 subscription for premium content/features or decide to have a \"tip jar\" where members who love your community can tip at will, or sell a digital Squad badge, etc. The gaming community is used to these types of microtransactions. As for advertising, it's not something that we ever want to depend on, especially with the current regulation issues Facebook and the likes are experiencing. Though, we have worked with brands like DC Comics, Crunchyroll and HBO on strategic campaigns.
