The veterans of the European startup scene, who have launched several consumer applications in the past, partly out of Stealth on Tuesday with a new application. All opposite, Grouper Will simply generate the memes from the archives of a group Whatsapp cat. However, it masks a wider game.
Groupg is led by Felix PetersenOne of the most experienced and most experienced B2C founders in Europe, who built the AMEN and Plazes applications.
Currently, everything that users can do on Groupphug export the text from a group WhatsApp from group and generate funny images from content.
However, this is only an advantage of things to come. Underlying this simple exercise to acquire beta users is an application still in stealth mode. But Petersen hinted at Techcrunch that the company plans to launch a platform to generate more value of WhatsApp groups using a generative AI.
“We think we have cracked the humor of the AI. For the moment, Grouphug will create jokes according to what has happened in the group. We transform your WhatsApp cats in memes. But we then have other plans for that,” he told Techcrunch. “There is this world of group cats where most things happen, as on Reddit or X, are carried out in public. But everything that is in WhatsApp groups is not part of the public internet. This is an opportunity.”
The startup has already raised 1.5 million euros (1.7 million dollars) of the first round led by Blueard VC, based in Berlin, alongside Tiny VC, Charles Songhurst (member of the Meta board of directors), Atlantic Labs and others.
Petersen is joined by Joseph Djenandji, who recently left his well -known Lostin multi -channel travel mark. The third founder is Matthew Balazsi, who has worked on AI and ML for 10 years.
