Thanks to TTYL, which at its essence was a digital walkie talkie, the brothers raised USD 2M in capital, (among others from venture capitalists Floodgate, who have also invested in Twitter, Twitch and Lyft). Tech-scene taxi squad ponies up for Poparazziīehind Poparazzi are two brothers in their mid-20s Alex and Austen Ma, who launched the TTYL (“Talk to you later”) to the App Store in 2019. Since the allegation came to light, Dispo has plummeted in the App Store rankings.

Today, we are taking a look at how Poparazzi works and breaking down how the app’s operators employed strategies and levers primarily used in the music industry to make a hit out of Poparazzi before the app dropped.
