More and more smartphone users are turning to free messaging apps as their main form of communication. So we're making it even easier for them to save time, money and data on their phone.

Making a Big Splash with Miss Universe
Vodi was the Official Global Fan Vote Sponsor for this year's Miss Universe.
We emerged from our beta phase and launched our global live voting platform earlier this year as one of four ways to vote for the Miss Universe competition. This opportunity drove more than half a million downloads in one month. The downloads came from all around the world, but predominantly from Latin America, Asia and Europe.
How Vodi's Voting Platform Works
- Users vote in real-time for events that they’re following. Our sophisticated system shows all events broken down into those currently in progress, those coming soon, and those completed. The app updates in real time as rounds of voting open and close.
- Event organizers can manage the content for their event and access results in real time. Vodi offers full flexibility in terms of the structure of the vote, the number of rounds, the number of options and more.
- This feature keeps users coming back to the app and engaged in their events, while also giving event organizers the control they need.
We're Growing Fast Around the World
Vodi is a global app, with 1,000,000+ downloads from 160+ different countries.
Vodi’s beta phase began with a launch on the App Store and Google Play in early 2016, and the app steadily gained traction among early adopters all over the world. As we exited the beta phase in January 2017 as Miss Universe's Official Fan Vote Sponsor, we saw explosive growth. We plan to ride that momentum and quickly capture more impressions going forward.

Help Us Do it All
We all know that free mobile messaging apps are not only here to stay, but quickly becoming the main way people around the world communicate. What we realized was that very few of these apps have evolved beyond the basics of texting and calling, and that even fewer of them really give anything more than the basics back to the user. We wanted to provide a new solution in the mobile messaging space that did accomplish those goals – providing useful products and services beyond the free communication tools, and also rewarding users for their use of the app and giving them something truly meaningful.
Those are the principles on which we founded Vodi, and they’ll always be at the core of our strategy. What’s more, knowing that mobile users spend more than 80 percent of their time on their phone texting, we’ve strategically designed our products and services – eGift cards, prepaid mobile plan recharges and others coming soon – to be available right there within your conversation. Additionally, conversational search – which allows you to simply tap on key words in your chat to access relevant search results from Yelp, Amazon and more – is another way we’re making the messaging experience better for our users. They never have to leave Vodi, so as an all-in-one platform, we reduce the “app fatigue” so common among mobile consumers.
You can see how we’ve already started to grow, both in terms of user base and expanding our offerings – our global live voting platform is a powerful service that both excites users and event organizers around the world – and our Stars for Charity platform is letting influencers and their fans really make a difference for important causes. Both of these features, as well as many that are in the pipeline, go back to those fundamental tenets we began with – being more than just another messaging app, and always giving back wherever we can.
One final thing that sets us apart is our business partnership model, which is another aspect of Vodi totally unique in the mobile messaging space. We are open to collaboration with a wide variety of businesses – they could be mobile operators, online travel businesses, TV networks, influencers, what have you – via a revenue sharing opportunity. This is something no other messaging app out there offers, and we consider it our key differentiator in a crowded market.
Sincerely,

Darren Lu
