1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
It all started with a connection.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
And now, five million connections later,
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Vampir has become the essential tool for connecting creatives.
4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Make music happen.
5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Find your team.
6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Collaborate.
7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And if you think you've got it in you, go pro
8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and unlock distribution, sync opportunities, analytics, and so much more.
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Vampir.
10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Download today and make music happen.
11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
We have linked in Instagram, Fiver, Thumtack, and then SoundCloud.
12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And so what's so special, unique about Vampir?
13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
So all the platforms you just mentioned do one or two things really well.
14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000
But comparing SoundCloud to LinkedIn, the fact that you even made that comparison
15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
is problematic because they have nothing to do with each other.
16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
One of them is a place where you upload songs,
17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
the other is a place where you upload a resume.
18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So with Vampir, we did look at literally every one of those things you just said
19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
and we said, well, how do we create a dedicated space?
20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Because that's what was missing.
21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000
If you go on LinkedIn and type show me a drummer who's female, 22, lives in Arkansas
22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
and listens to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, it'll get confused and say no results.
23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Where you can go on Vampir and put all of that in and get an answer.
24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So as I just said, you can quite literally search for that person on Vampir
25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
where you can't on any of those other platforms.
26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
That's what makes us unique.
27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
And it's a dedicated space.
28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000
So we could remove all the labels in the app that say genre, skill, favorite artists,
29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000
all these sort of categories that people display on their profiles.
30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
You could put any words you like and then the app becomes that.
31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
The point I'm making is like with platforms and social apps,
32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
a lot of the usefulness comes from the context.
33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And the context here is that we're an app for musicians made by musicians
34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
to help you meet other musicians.
35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
That's the context you have when you go in.
36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
That's the context supported by the labels in the various sections in the app.
37
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
But it's a social network.
38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
So it does what you think it does.
39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
To hear the entire conversation with Josh Simons, CEO and co-founder of Vampir,
40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
the world's largest and most active social professional network for musicians,
