Wabi has raised $20 million in a pre-seed funding round. The company was founded by Replika creator Eugenia Kuyda. The startup aims to build a new app discovery platform. Wabi describes its product as the “YouTube of apps.” It addresses the challenge of finding new applications in crowded app stores. The platform presents apps in a vertical, interactive feed. Users can swipe through previews to experience an app's core features. This model allows people to try apps instantly without a full installation. The funding will help Wabi develop its technology and launch the platform. Wabi's goal is to offer a more engaging alternative to traditional app stores.
