A super quick update today to say Happy New Year from the entire Vampr team!

We originally featured Rae Khalil and Jared Rubens in May 2018 after they first met on Vampr.
Rae has since gone on to appear on the Netflix show Rhythm + Flow and their work has received co-signs from Queen Latifah, Chance The Rapper, Anderson Paak, TI, Sway and Snoopdogg, to name but a few.
Describing the journey to her debut album, Girlfriend (out now), Rae says, āWe made the album out of [industry] frustration. When you donāt have all the resourcesā¦ you gotta do the workā.
Stories like these are why we made Vampr āļø
There are less than six weeks remaining to invest in Vamprāāājoin us today at www.wefunder.com/vampr

As our crowdfunding campaign continues to build in grassroots momentumāāādriven primarily by Vampr usersāāāso too does the list of publicly notable investors. Last week was our biggest week yet with $50,000 raised from the crowd. Itās all really kicking off now in the leadup to our January 16 close-date!
Today weāre delighted to share with you another update highlighting some of our newest investors.
Miles is an American professional ice hockey forward currently playing for the New Jersey Devils in the NHL.
We asked Miles what attracted him to Vampr: āSince 2017 Iāve been tracking startups and different VC trends in anticipation of finding a company Iām passionate about to invest in. Vampr was the first company that truly excited me. I really believe in their mission to connect everybody in the music industry, regardless of where they live, their skill level or age. This opens up a world of opportunity to anyone who ever dreamed of having a career in music or even just having their songs heard.ā
āI know what itās like to pursue a passion and how important finding and developing a support network becomes in making that dream come true. With the ever changing nature of the music business and Vamprās powerful ability to connect people through music this is a winning combination, and itās ultimately what rooted my excitement in the company.ā
Miles couldnāt resist bringing the opportunity to his teammates, and so we are now also joined by fellow New Jersey Devil and Yale expat John Hayden.
Why did you invest in Vampr, John? āThe music space is growing and presents immense opportunity at the moment. Vampr is positioned to capitalize on this by providing artists with the platform to build relationships and find solutions to their needs. Making connections and building solid support networks are paramount to finding success and enjoying a career in any industry. Vampr makes this easy for creatives.ā
āIāve always loved music, and now I have the opportunity to invest in a platform that Iām passionate about. Iām excited to join Vampr and watch it grow into an indispensable tool for every player in the creative arts world.ā
Sunmeet is a prolific Silicon Valley angel investor (seriously, check it out: http://www.crunchbase.com/person/sunmeet-jolly). Heās also a 20+ year software industry veteran, working alongside many Fortune 500 clients including HP, Oracle and Ingram Micro.
In his own words: āBeing a founder of the patented GROTU app, and an angel investor in 33 startupsāāānot to mention a lover of musicāāāIām betting Vampr will successfully climb the mountain!ā
Weāre thrilled to pieces to have all three of you plus every other one of our new investors on board for the ride! Welcome to the family š
