Jailbreaking iMessage.📱🤙
The Teaser:
Beeper is throwing in the towel in its fight to bring iMessage to Android — mostly.
-
Although it just announced yet another fix to let Android users send iMessages from its messaging apps, Beeper announced that it’s going to stop finding workarounds and instead focus on its “long-term goal of building the best chat app on earth.
-
*(Reference.)
Thanks to Beeper doing all the technical grunt work here, this has now opened the door to a series of interesting new product opportunities. Wait till you see the fun social messaging startup idea we got cooking for you!
AI Fashion Influencers are making a killing.💃🏻🤖
The Teaser:
Spanish model Aitana Lopez has perfectly arched eyebrows and a full, rosy pout. Light bounces off her high cheekbones, and her body suggests she counts a personal trainer among her loyal companions.
-
At the time of this writing, she has 127,000 Instagram followers whose adoration fills the comment section of her posts: “Gorgeous.” “Sublime.” “You’ve officially stolen my heart.”
-
Lopez, however, isn’t real. She’s AI generated.
-
She’s also a successful influencer. She can make up to 10,000 Euros a month (~$11,000 USD), according to the Barcelona design agency that created her and maintains her seductive online persona.
-
*(Reference.)
AI influencers are just starting to gain traction in the fashion vertical, especially on social apps like Instagram. Just wait to see our take on which platform, and on how these AI avatars will start to show up in 2024!
Netflix, YouTube, and Microsoft are going ALL IN on gaming — acquiring & building their way to huge game portfolios.👾🎮
The Teaser:
In October of 2023, Microsoft finalized its $68.7 Billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard — the publisher of Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo. *(Reference.)
And let’s also not forget, Microsoft picked up Minecraft in 2014 for a cool $2.5 Billion. *(Reference.)
Netflix is going all in with their gaming venture with 86 games already in play, with another 90 more in development. *(Reference.)
And YouTube just launched over 30 ‘Playables’ mini-games in November of 2023. *(Reference.)
Amassing a large portfolio of games & gamers can only mean one thing → interoperable games are coming next. But what does this all mean? Stay tuned as we present our dope new startup idea in the gaming space!
Bespoke Luxury Communities are coming to 2024.🥂🍾
The Teaser:
Think a more lowkey, modernized Soho House, American Express Black Card, Core Club, Bohemian Grove, and the like…
The framing definitely leans largely towards bespoke luxury and concierge services, but curated specifically to the needs of digital-first communities.
Hyper-specialized To-Do Lists for niche audiences.📒🖊️
The Teaser:
Weirdly, this got us thinking… a subject that kept resurfacing throughout the year in 2023 among some very specific cohorts. More on that later…
Yes, an ages old exercise that people still struggle with today — we’ve only just started taking a deeper look, and we’re already quite excited!
And there you have it!🙌
Enjoy, and see you in 2024!🥳
