Hi Guys!
Remember us?
We were here on Product Hunt 9 months ago.
Since then, we’ve been heads down working on an even more powerful and convenient version of the original Tribe. We just released Tribe 2.0 a few hours ago on the App Store and Play Store. We are also announcing our $3m seed round, led by the great folks at Sequoia Capital.
Take a quick look at the video we’ve created from our hacker house that efficiently sums up what Tribe 2.0 has to offer our users:
Over the past 9 months since our Product Hunt debut, we have quietly grown the team from 4 to 9 and experimented with different types of technologies.
We are continuously testing new messaging patterns, so feedback based on your experiences with Tribe 2.0 is very much appreciated.
Go ahead and feel free to send us a few Tribe messages right now, we’d love to chat with you and hear what you have to say!

@cyrilpaglino, @ldesserrey - congrats on the launch! The product is beautiful as always 👍
One question: Have you seen any issues with requiring sound/volume for this product? Not that sound is explicitly required, but I don’t get much value out of consuming/sharing on Tribe without audio on.
This strikes me as a potential problem, because the vast majority of smartphone usage takes place without sound. This is abundantly clear at Instagram/Facebook, where 80-90% of videos are watched without sound. I suspect that (for social reasons) this will continue until you can broadcast sound directly into your ear without:
a) disturbing the people around you (like speakers)
b) blocking out ambient sound (like headphones)
c) requiring an additional step/plug-in (like headphones)
I see this issue on other platforms as well. On SnapChat, what percentage of the time are you communicating via audio (talking, music, etc) vs via visual (photo/video, caption, geo-filters, face-filters, etc)? Anecdotally - I just went through my SnapChat stories, and 0 out of 39 of them required me to turn on audio. The value of the content was in the visual/caption. That’s better for me, because I’m in the office right now and didn’t want to turn on audio (headphones plugged into my laptop, not my phone).
Has this been an issue at all? What percentage of Tribe videos are watched with sound on vs. off? Have you considered adding more visual communication tools (text captions, geo-filters, etc)?
Curious to hear how you all think about this!
Looks promising. Will download it now ! Though, with the rising competition in messaging, what would be your unique feature or value prop that you think can sustain you and draw users to your app?
@hicham_amine Thanks ! Don't hesitate if you have questions while onboarding the App. Quick answer : Majority of Messaging apps are text-based, We are video-based. We managed to make video quicker to send than texting and as easy to open. We also build a more convenient alternative to live video-calling. Also, starting in Tribe 2.0, we started to augment the content in order to provide a more enabling messaging product, without asking the user to do anything. :)
The recognition system for the calendar is working well. But, is there an onboarding tutorial somewhere in the app to understand what other shortcuts are available? (Apparently: Amazon, Instagram etc.).
It is also cool to synchronize our Facebook friends with Tribe. Love this.
@stanmassueras Thanks Stan ! All the data is stored on our servers and everything is encrypted and anonymized on our end. Then we use machine learnings and APIs to fine meaningful data for our users. And we delete everything from our servers when the video is seen by the recipient(s).
