Featuring a freemium revenue model, BitMovio is a blockchain-enabled, gamified video entertainment platform built for the Fortnite generation.
Simon Zhu, CEO and Cofounder of BitMovio:
“We feel strongly that democratizing investment in early stage companies is consistent with our core values as it allows anyone to invest in BitMovio and become brand ambassadors to help grow our community and advocate for our mission.”
BitMovio was established in the summer of 2018 out of the Play Labs @ MIT accelerator. The company has assembled a world-class team with decades of experience in technology, media, software, blockchain, gaming, eSports, and content streaming and licensing. The collective team resume includes Oscar winning filmmakers and experienced senior executives from companies including Netflix, Amazon, Fox, The Walt Disney Company, Facebook, Coinbase, Endemol Shine Group, NBC Universal, CBS, and more.
Jerry Kowal, Chief Content Officer and Cofounder of BitMovio:
“Current video streaming platforms do not provide users or content creators with the levels of interactivity, engagement and choice that we believe Millennials and younger audiences will demand from video streaming services going forward. Beyond subscription (SVOD) and advertising-supported (AVOD) video streaming services, we believe a 3rd lane will emerge – Freemium Video Streaming. This will be a massive opportunity – perhaps even larger than SVOD and AVOD combined – to introduce proven, highly-profitable gamification techniques of the kind perfected by Epic Games in Fortnite into video streaming.”
Featured in VentureBeat, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, Streaming Media, Bitcoinist.com and dozens of other publications, BitMovio launched its open-beta product in web, iOS and Android in the first half of 2019. At present, BitMovio has:
- Raised ~US$1.2 million from leading investors in Silicon Valley, New York City and Boston
- Onboarded 6,500+ hours of content from partners such as World Poker Tour, Endemol Shine Group, Gunpowder & Sky, Diagonal View (digital video arm of Sky Limited, a subsidiary of Comcast), The Young Turks, etc, and from many top individual creators on YouTube working in the eSports and paranormal genres in particular
- Acquired over 17,000 registered users and growing, with average daily engagement time of ~ 20 minutes per user on mobile; unique monthly users total over 50,000
