Friendable Receives $1.6 Million Investment and Completes
Technology Acquisition With Access to 8 Million Users
CAMPBELL, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/13/16 -- Friendable, Inc. (the
“Company”) (OTC PINK: FDBL), today announced that it
has received an investment commitment in the amount of $1.615
million and in connection with this commitment, the Company has
completed the acquisition of live streaming video technology from
Hang With, Inc.
Under the terms of its agreement with Hang W/, Friendable will
receive a royalty free, perpetual license to integrate and utilize
the Hang W/ live streaming video technology within the existing
Friendable app or outside the current app as a next generation
product for specialized broadcast events.
Additionally, Friendable gains access to 8 million users who have
signed up to utilize Hang W/’s live streaming video
technology to attempt to convert them to Friendable users through
cross marketing and promotion. The Company also believes access to
these Hang W/ users will dramatically reduce its user acquisition
cost.
Friendable expects that this new technology will allow the Company
to extend its brand and begin to uniquely monetize the Friendable
app.
These initiatives will require the development teams of both
Friendable and Hang W/ to work together with an expectation of
completing the roll out of this new technology under the Friendable
brand by the end of the year.
More details will be announced in the coming days.
“Our team is fully committed to taking Friendable to the next
level,” stated Friendable CEO, Robert A. Rositano Jr.
Friendable Inc. CEO “With the additional investment
commitment the company was able to complete its acquisition of the
hang W/ technology providing us with the opportunity to move into a
new aspect of our business. We are extremely excited for this next
generation of the Friendable app for its user growth potential and
monetization.”
“We believe the Hang W/ technology will create a
differentiated offering for our brand in the Live Video Streaming
marketplace and allow the Company to capitalize on our many
relationships in various celebrity circles,” concluded
Rositano Jr.
