13 Reasons Why: Invest In UrbanAMA
We’re raising $1M in 1 month from investors who are passionate about the next media transformation.
Committed: $250k; In discussions: $250k
UrbanAMA is building communities that interact over voice and video. It is the future of media we’ve been waiting for. We are seeking 10–20 investors who are passionate about supercharging the next media transformation. Here are 13 reasons why it’s a good idea.
(1) Best Interactive Visual Platform
UrbanAMA is the best interactive visual platform in the world. Don’t take my word for it; try it out right now. 17–70+ year old AMA hosts find it fun and come back to host more, some daily.
(2) The Right Team
The founders are ex-Google and ex-Qualcomm leaders who have built and shipped some of the best mobile and video solutions. Vidya has had 20 years on mobile (most recently led the Android Sensors & Context team) and Lakshminath has shipped video solutions used by millions of users. And we have a fantastic, hardworking, loyal team.
(3) World Class Partners
Editors, Journalists, Athletes, Authors, and Artists from The Associated Press, Harper Collins, The Players’ Tribune, Roc Nation, and many other organizations are hosting AMAs on UrbanAMA. In addition, we’re in pilots with 3 of the top 5 sports and entertainment houses.
(4) More AMAs Than On Reddit
Yep, it’s true! We’ve hosted 5000 AMAs in the 6 months we’ve been around and will soon surpass Reddit in daily AMA volume!
(5) 4–5x Increase In Twitter Engagement
UrbanAMA hosts consistently see a 4–5x increase in their Twitter engagement. These AMAs help build engaged communities around existing audiences on Twitter and Snapchat.
(6) Book Club, Reinvented
We are reinventing the book club. Best selling authors, and up and coming writers host AMAs regularly. Meets Thursdays, sponsored by Harper Collins.
Join the Urban Book Club to interact with authors.
(7) Virtual Campus Visits
UrbanAMA is the future of campus visits for aspiring students. No more sweating over which campuses to visit. Interact with 100s of college Deans, professors, admissions offices, and current students via AMAs.
Sign up to know about campus AMAs.
(8) Future Of Interactive Journalism
UrbanAMA is the future of interactive journalism. Through active interactions, UrbanAMA restores the presently broken faith in media. Watch this AMA from an AP reporter on juvenile life without parole or this one from an attendee of the Net Impact Conference.
(9) Top Investors
Our investors and advisors are from Facebook, Google, Disney, Polycom, and more. As an investor, you’ll be in great company!

One more thing — I wrote an article on diversity that went viral and led to the Diversity AMA Series on UrbanAMA.
Hosts in the Diversity series include Eleanor Beaton of the Fierce Feminine Podcast, Keval Desai of Interwest Partners, Sangita Kasturi of Action Inclusion and TED speaker, Kelsi Kamin of Capital Factory and more.
