The Vampr feed is still new but you can now control what you see more than before!
Here are our top tips to help you curate your feed experience:
Remove old connections
From now on, only people you accept a connection request from will appear in your feed.
Now is the perfect time to remove old connections with people where you’re just not feeling it.
To unfollow a person simply head to their deep profile and tap following.
New ways to discover
Swiping is so 2017! There are now multiple ways to discover new music and new people.
See who your connections are following or check out their followers.
Get lost down a rabbit hole and curate your own list of cool people to follow.
Follow more people
Don’t want to send a connection request?
You can now follow someone to stay up to date with them without sending a connection request.
Unlike connection requests, there’s no limit on how many people you can follow!
Add more artists!
We populate your feed with news articles based on your favorite artists. The more you add, the better your feed will be!

On Friday we closed our ‘Bridge to Series A’ round with ~$800,000 in the bank, and we couldn’t be more relieved or proud!
Across two Reg CF campaigns in a 12 month window, and 2000 investors no less, we have raised the maximum allowed under US law – a feat only accomplished by a small handful of companies.
Our cash runway is now secure through the remainder of 2021 and should support the company as it grows into a Default Alive position by year’s end and as we set our sights on a Series A round in Q4 21/Q1 22.
We recently published an update on traction, in the blog post 5x growth in MAUs. 1,273% growth in revenue YoY. NPS 🚀
To those of you who participated in this round, we thank you sincerely and are thrilled to welcome you aboard as partners in our fast growing enterprise. To those whose interest has been piqued, let’s chat 👋
Until the A 😉

Here comes the sun ?
It’s been eight months since we launched Vampr Publishing (and we’re still working from home!)
Today we wanted to update all stakeholders on how it’s tracking and what we’ve learned since launching this boutique division of the company.
16,710 tracks. 7,591 independent writers.
This is the number of tracks submitted and folks who have signed our sync representation agreement since May 2020.
Users who are signing up to Vampr Publishing submit an average of 2.2 tracks.
Most impressively, in just the past three months, since launching our equity crowdfunding campaign, total submissions have grown by 200%.
Suffice to say our A&R team have their hands full!
A&R and Metadata
One of the challenges we faced immediately was how to sift through such a high volume of submissions. There are several technological solutions which help with the A&R process.
One of those processes is the collection of qualifying or disqualifying metadata.
Given our mission was to create a “One-stop” catalogue we had to ensure that submitting artists owned 100% of the rights in tracks submitted. This has seen us tinkering with the Vampr Publishing onboarding experience to ensure we’re collecting the most useful and complete information.
Launching during COVID-19
In hindsight, launching a product to the entertainment industry in the middle of a global pandemic was always going to mean progress would move slower than anticipated. Film and TV productions ground to a halt, while many music supervisors were furloughed or moved on.
So we used this time to build up our catalogue and develop relationships with select talent. It was clear that this was work that needed to be done in any event; that we needed to build up supply, a catalogue of high-quality original works, before heading into market to procure syncs for our artists.
Next steps
With a growing catalogue of high quality music, and the gradual, albeit uneven, restart of film and TV productions around the world, our focus will shift this year into procuring syncs while still growing the catalogue. We have begun receiving large briefs from agencies and supervisors and some of you may have already received a brief in your inbox depending on suitability.
With all of the moving parts starting to come together we are kicking off 2021 with an exciting and burgeoning catalogue ripe for sync!
Until then ✌️
