Gaption is a Social networking platform that enables people to monetize their content, products, and social networking activities.[1] Dubbed the Social Network for Content Creators, Gaption allows its users to generate revenues from their content via paid subscriptions and donations in the form of in-app gift purchases.[2] Gaption also shares revenues generated with active users in the form of royalties via a seamless and automated fashion.[3] Founded by Kenneth Ho, Benjamin Tan, and Wallace Ho, Gaption was built with the intention of helping people to turn their passions into financially sustainable endeavours in a fun and interactive manner.
Like many other social networking platforms, users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, exchange chat messages, post updates photos/videos, and receive notifications when others update their profiles or publish new content. Gaption also infuses elements of E-commerce, virtual assistant services, and peer-to-peer payments within its platform. The features provided in the platform closely resemble a hybrid integration of Facebook, Twitch.tv, and Amazon.[4]
Gaption is available as a free service on The Web, iOS, and Android. A vast majority of users on Gaption originate from USA, Europe, South East Asia, and Brazil. To date, Gaption has successfully raised its first round of funding from Cradle Fund.
