[size=18pt] 16 Facts About WhatsApp [/size]
WhatsApp founded in 2009 by former Yahoo! employees Brian Acton and Jan Koum
Sequoia Capital invested $8 million in 2011
70% of users are active on a daily basis
WhatsApp says they are adding 1 million users everyday.
They currently employ 50 people 32 engineers working on WhatsApp, i.e. one engineer is responsible for 14 million active users!!
400 million active users in December Rising to 450 million active users according to Facebook’s press release.
The app is the 5th most downloaded app on Android
WhatsApp doesn’t sell ads and zero have appeared on the app The founders hate ads
Twitter and Facebook had the chance to hire founder Brian Acton but didn’t!
The total value of the deal(To sell whatsapp): $19 Billion ($4 billion in cash, $12 billion in stock, and $3 billion in restricted stock)
$1 Billion Break-up fee should the deal not go through.
Jan Koum(whatsapp founder) keeps a note from Brian (whatsapp founder) taped to his desk that reads “No Ads! No Games! No Gimmicks!” To keep them focused on building a pure messaging experience.
WhatsApp spent ZERO cash on marketing, PR and user acquisition
WhatsApp’s messaging volume is approaching the entire global telecom SMS volume
On Dec 31st 2013 users sent a total 54 billion messages during the day (3x increase from 2012)
How it became so popular?
Looking at those numbers reads like a fairy tale and is an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs. But what exactly made WhatsApp so popular? Here’s a short list that contributed to its increasing usage since 2009:
All you need to sign up is your phone number.
WhatsApp tapped into your contact list to display friends already using the app.
2G & 3G data plans paved the way for affordable messaging across borders (all you need for WhatsApp is an internet connection)
Free for a year and $0.99 a year for unlimited messages
MMS was rarely used due to its cost, WhatsApp made it affordable with its photo sharing feature
Cross platform compatibility (still includes Symbian&java!!) saw users in emerging marketing jump on the bandwagon
WhatsApp got a lot things right in the beginning and its growth rate is reportedly faster than Facebook’s. With Mark Zuckerberg even saying “WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1 billion people.” But with such a huge amount of money on the table – one has to wonder what $19 billion could’ve been used for instead?
