UNIVERSIMM

Pre Seed Round in 2025
Universimm is an entertainment app with a revolutionary AI posting model, a first in social media. This introduces a new business model that addresses industry challenges such as irrelevant content, predictive algorithms, and ineffective advertising models. This distinguishes us from existing platforms and creates a new disruptive market space for revenue generation. We have recently launched our app, and we have already achieved nearly 30,000 installs with the number of downloads continuing to grow. We are excited to announce our partnership with Black Rhino, a well-known app agency that will help us gain more traction through their app partners and influencers. Another major partnership is with Sweatcoin, which boasts 150 million users. Our app will be promoted in their marketplace with 9 million daily impressions. Our marketing strategy focuses on countries with the highest social media usage, such as India, which has 755 million users. We will also target similar countries like the USA, Brazil, and Indonesia. In addition, we have teamed up with Mixpanel to help us with app attribution and app statistics. Taking a cue from Snapchat, it's intriguing to think of their 3 billion offer, when they had 5 million users. It sparks our imagination for the potential valuation of Universimm when we reach the same milestone at the end of 2025.
