Karmies
About this raise
Everyone knows a picture is worth a thousand words….or, should I say, emojis?
Karmies certainly would say emojis. Emojis and stickers are taking over our communication world, revolutionizing the way we text -- and Karmies is here take that revolution to the next level. Karmies technology enables anyone to upload their own custom emoji or sticker, attach actionable information to it, and share it in personal message or social media. Actionable items include geolocation, preferences, and keywords, making it perfect for the end-user, for brands, and for messaging platforms. With Karmies, the sky is the emoji limit.
The typical end-user can use Karmies to easily arrange coffee dates by attaching the location to the coffee cup emoji. For brands, they can insert their icon into the Karmies keyboard and help it pop up more based on location. For messaging platforms, Karmies can help add new functionality, fresh content, and user insights, all while increasing incremental revenue with each branded shared emoji.
With more than six billion emojis sent daily, $270 million a year generated through sticker sales, and 20% month over month increased use in 2016, it’s clear that there’s an emoji market to capitalize on -- and Karmies is tapping into it. So far, they have 33.5 million emoji impressions each month; they’re available across four platforms (iMessage, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter), and they have five publishers, including Loopy, Karmiegram, and Facebook. They’re also a 2016 Techstars Accelerated Company, have 300,000 active users, receive 200,000 clicks per month, and are available on both iOS and Android devices. Plus, with each Karmies emoji sent, they donate to a cause. Karmies is creating smarter messaging -- and creating karma.
