We have linked in Instagram, Fiver, Thumtack, and then SoundCloud.
And so what's so special, unique about Vampir?
So all the platforms you just mentioned do one or two things really well.
But comparing SoundCloud to LinkedIn, the fact that you even made that comparison
is problematic because they have nothing to do with each other.
One of them is a place where you upload songs,
the other is a place where you upload a resume.
So with Vampir, we did look at literally every one of those things you just said
and we said, well, how do we create a dedicated space?
Because that's what was missing.
If you go on LinkedIn and type show me a drummer who's female, 22, lives in Arkansas
and listens to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, it'll get confused and say no results.
Where you can go on Vampir and put all of that in and get an answer.
So as I just said, you can quite literally search for that person on Vampir
where you can't on any of those other platforms.
That's what makes us unique.
And it's a dedicated space.
So we could remove all the labels in the app that say genre, skill, favorite artists,
all these sort of categories that people display on their profiles.
You could put any words you like and then the app becomes that.
The point I'm making is like with platforms and social apps,
a lot of the usefulness comes from the context.
And the context here is that we're an app for musicians made by musicians
to help you meet other musicians.
That's the context you have when you go in.
That's the context supported by the labels in the various sections in the app.
But it's a social network.
So it does what you think it does.
