Motribe Reaches Milestone with 10 000 Tribe Owners

Published by on Jan 11th, 2012, 4 Comments

Motribe’s official blog reported that as of January 8th, Motribe reached a significant milestone with the registration of their 10 000th tribe owner. A tribe owner is a user who has created their very own mobile tribe using the Motribe platform, on mobile or desktop.

After launching their mobile tribe builder near the end of 2011, Motribe saw a dramatic increase in the number of new tribes created per day. Since that launch they have been actively improving the experience for tribe owners. In 2012 Motribe’s number one focus is to ensure that the Motribe platform continues to be the best in the world for brands, businesses and users to build sites on the mobile web.

In addition, the chart below has been provided to show where the tribe owners are coming from. The chart accounts for the last 30 days and shows the top ten countries that are creating mobile tribes.

    Reads a bit like an advertorial (“their number one focus is to continue to be the best in the world”) but I’m tired of startups always falling back on superficial numbers as milestones. I think your author here should be probing the info in the blog post instead of just duplicating it. How has this announcement generated revenue? Why are they looking for venture capital when in the video link above it says that they’re already profitable and aren’t going to run their company using VC? Why is their current VC provider not providing any further funding etc.

    Great comment, from what I understand Motribe has been profitable for a very long time. However, they want to grow their user acquisition rate at a much quicker pace and because of that want to raise another round.

    I don’t understand their business model. Most of their users are from Indian (which any company could buy very cheaply, and therefore have little value to any VC) so it boils down to an advertising model then, as they no longer have the tiered pricing that you mentioned in the video interview? If they have indeed been profitable “for a very long time”, why is their current investor not reinvesting if there is nothing to lose?
