So... Is Vampr a dating app?
Vampr is like Tinder for musicians - not a dating app. You can meet singers, beatmakers, etc. on this social network. Collaborate and make money with other music creators!
In the beginning, Vampr promoted itself as a sort of Tinder-esque app.
You'd hear this lingo pop up in all of their advertising.
The match-making mechanics on Vampr is simple:
The algorithm is pretty fair.
The more complete your profile is, the higher-quality connection you'll see.
There’s randomness, and variety when discovering new connections, which is an interesting model.
This model is similar to top apps like Candy Crush.
There's variety, but also randomness.
Try it yourself and see what I mean!

Sadly, Vampr is not available on Desktop. (I know, right!)
There are lots of reasons for this.
The simplest answer: Vampr is a social network.

Vampr is successfully used by a lot of artists!
You can be the next one :)
Vampr has just over a million users thus far.
What does that mean?
Is it a million people who downloaded the app but haven’t touched it in 6 months... Or is it the daily users?
Here's my take:
In my area, I use Vampr and have zero issues connecting with others.
On the flip side:
If you live in Timbuktu then don’t be surprised if nobody reaches back.
It’s a shocker you even have wifi there!!!
Just joking, of course.
In reality, there are more than enough entrepreneurial musicians on Vampr for it to be worth it.
Put in 20% effort and you’ll see your network skyrocket like crazy!
Here are my best Vampr tips & tricks:
Just don’t be an idiot: it’s important to water the connections.
Vampr isn’t your God, it’s a music tech tool.
You gotta make sure to put in the effort and maintain the connections for all of this to be worth it!
VAMPR is extremely important for the music industry!
This is why:
One of the largest issues in the music industry is gatekeeping.
Gatekeeping is the #1 thing holding the culture back.
Know why?
All the goodies and treasures are left behind closed doors - ONLY to carefully selected acts.
Will you sacrifice your soul (and masters) to attain these connections?
Oftentimes you won't even get the chance!
To most artists, unless you have a label there's virtually zero support system in place…
So you have to build from scratch.
This is why Vampr is essential.
The ride can be easy when you’re assisted with a powerful tool like Vampr!
Trust me then I say this: you can't replace it.
It’s so easy to go on Instagram and tell yourself "I'm going to network my ass off!"
But before you know it, you’ve spent 2 hours scrolling mindlessly at pictures of people eating ice cream and doing Tiktok challenges.
This is called "The Networking Problem."
Every artist has a monkey inside their brain.
This monkey LOVES to explore!
(He's partly the reason why artists make music in the first place.)
The issue is that this money gets wrapped up in the algorithm and sabotages our plans!
The Monkey LOVES social media so it ends up wasting precious time...
That time can instead be used to progress your music career.
Hmm. Now we're stuck.
Rather than fight the monkey, let's instead put the monkey in an environment.
Someplace where it can flourish in the right areas.
That is what Vampr is all about.
Vampr will put your networking efforts in more productive ways.
You may say "But Linkedin tho??"
Yeah. Lol. Use Linkedin for longer than 5 minutes and you'll see why rappers aren't on it.
Vampr is true to the culture and true to the artist's vision.
The music business is... Well, a business.
One of the key questions artists have is "Where should I invest my money?"
I have a great answer!
If you have some change lying around, why not invest in Vampr?
The company is growing fast, so it wouldn't hurt to accelerate.
(Note: this is for serious investors. This isn't Dogecoin)
Vampr has raised over $3.5 million from 3000 investors thus far!

*DISCLAIMER: Their most recent funding round closed on March 31st, 2022.
However, you can check out their funding portal at the link above and track their progress by clicking 'Watch for updates'.
Vampr is a private company that takes in external funding.
Vampr's most recent public valuation is $20,921,000. Investors have access to their funding stats publicly on the company's Wefunder page: over $3,570,000 was invested into the company by 3065 investors.
Here are the past Vampr funding rounds:
| Date | Amount Raised |
| March 2022 | $921,000 |
| April 2021 | $786,604 |
| Jan 2020 | $995,387 |
| December 2018 | $534,447 |
| December 2016 | $332,657 |
With their valuation growing 3.5X over the past two years, they're on track to become a $100MM company in the foreseeable future.
Since growth is the main engine, there is little talk of profitability, however, the company's revenues have generally doubled year over year.
This is understandable, considering Vampr is a high-growth tech company.
There is not much sense in taking early profits home, at the stake of an even bigger pie.
Check out the Vampr Wefunder page for frequent updates on the company!

I reached out to Josh Simons, Co-Founder of Vampr to ask him:
"How do gatekeepers hurt the industry, and what does VAMPR do to fix this?"
This is his response:
The traditional gatekeepers of the music industry, such as:
Used their positions to exploit a knowledge gap, that exists among emerging artists.
They do this to ensure that, first and foremost, they keep their jobs and stay relevant.
In art, it is the youth and the culture that threatens the old guard who only knows one way.
Vampr helps eradicate this pain point in several ways:
