The Business

Loved by Users

ASKWHO has experienced great traction since launching in October 2021, with over 130,000 installs and 10,000 daily active users.

Proving the need for such an application within the region, ASKWHO’s key metrics such as user retention are on par with Facebook, whilst surpassing those recorded by LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, Twitter and other leading social media platforms.

Revenue Generating

The business earns revenue via 3 streams including a subscription based B2C model where users can also unlock additional features when they upgrade to a premium account for AED 24.99 per month. In addition to subscriptions, B2B revenues are generated through advertisements and events.

Scalable Solution to a Global Problem

With the current trend for home and hybrid-working making it more difficult for adults to make friends within the workplace, and in some cases removing all daily face-to-face contact with others completely, you could argue that there’s never been a greater need for a product like ASKWHO.

ASKWHO, the social media group app, was launched in Dubai in October 2021. Designed to help users make meaningful connections with like-minded individuals and turn virtual friends into real ones, it provides a safe, nurturing spaces for people with all kinds of interests.

Welcoming and supportive, ASKWHO wants to bring the ‘social’ element back into social media by providing people in cities with that community feel.
With mainstream social media often criticized for making people feel inferior and lonely, ASKWHO is entirely the opposite. By helping UAE residents and citizens turn online friends into ‘real’ ones, it aims to boost mental health by providing a sense of belonging.
