Week 3 of Founder Fridays

By admin

Over the past month we have been ridiculously busy behind the scenes in preparation for a Vampr crowdfunding campaign. It’s super exciting and we’re moving as fast as we can but we’re probably still a month or so away from launch. We can’t wait to reveal our future plans and share them with you and the rest of the Vampr community. Stay tuned…

In the lead up to launch I have been hosting our Founder Friday series every Friday night, live on Instagram. It’s been a phenomenal success with thousands of people tuning into the replay from over 60 countries! Each week I’ve interviewed different guests — I’ve strived hard to bring on folks who are incredibly accomplished in the world of music and it’s been such a thrill watching them answer your questions and seeing everyone interact in real time.

In the first week of Founder Fridays we brought you Matt Adell — he has worked as the CEO of Beatport, Vice President of Napster and CDO of Native Instruments. Matt sits on our advisory board and has helped us with Vampr since very early on. In Week 2 we brought you Anthony Kilhoffer — the 4x GRAMMY winning producer, best known for his work with Kanye West and Kid Cudi. His advice about networking and the importance of hustle really reinforces what we’ve been trying to deliver with Vampr. And finally, this week I interviewed Kevin Clobes, our very own Head of Growth. Kevin is responsible for growing Vampr from a few hundred users to half a million strong.

Keep tuning in every Friday — for the next few weeks it will just be me, you and any/all of your questions ✌️
