“So I think like Circle mostly targets the creators. In our case, like, we mostly target businesses. So it's a little bit of overlap on like the outcome and what we do. However, when it comes to the audience that we are tackling, it's a little bit different.”
“So in general, first of all, the idea behind tribe is that we are a platform that is very customizable, extensible, and embeddable into other products. So we usually target people that already have a product that is out there, and they want the community to be in the user's journey of their audience inside the product.”
“So right now, actually it's pretty high if you get it like for everyone, it's like around like 30%, something like that. And there are many different reasons. Most of it actually comes from our Plus customers, which are like kind of creators.”
