Using real-time audio to provide life guidance, Wisdom completed a $2 million seed round

According to Techcrunch, the UK audio social platform Wisdom recently completed a $2 million seed round led by US venture capital firm First Round Capital. Wisdom combines the strengths of "Clubhouse" and "Masterclass" to provide users with life advice and guidance using one-on-one conversations.

Wisdom is said to have raised funds to develop a range of features to increase user engagement, and the company is also working on an Android app, which is expected to go live in 2022. Wisdom is currently developing private messaging and intelligent search functions, and plans to launch more monetization channels for tutors.

Wisdom said that the platform currently has hundreds of new registered users every day, with a total of about 15,000 users, and the total duration of guidance content shared by mentors on the platform has reached 600,000 minutes. Eight weeks after the platform went live, Wisdom's audio content has also been played for more than 2.3 million minutes.

Wisdom said the platform's combination of a one-on-one conversation in real-time audio and the wide reach of podcasts was also welcomed by the mentors. At present, the platform is still in its early stages, and the hot topics are "meditation" and "social media". Singer Kenny G, actor James Marsters in the American drama "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and baseball star Andre Dawson are among the more well-known mentors on the platform.

First Round Capital said in a statement: "We believe the audio social track is currently in its infancy. "Wisdom" captures two trends in audio social and algorithm-friendly product design, and is committed to providing high-quality guidance to users who are struggling in their lives. Wisdom has two major features, the first is that it allows the audience to have one-on-one conversations with the instructor, and the second is the timer function that controls the length of a single conversation. We are very happy to invest in this product and look forward to its future." ”
