11. YOUR QUESTIONS. OUR ANSWERS.

So you are saying that in order to change the ecosystem,
your solution is to launch yet another chat app?
What about GDPR and Privacy in general?
How far do you think Wafer can go?
THANK YOU!
How do you plan to bring Wafer to the users?
We are all used to juggle between 4 and 20 chat
apps already. Download Wafer and you will
quickly understand that it is not just another
chat app, but it is rather the only messaging
ecosystem that allows you to instantly delete all
the others.
At Wafer we take privacy very seriously. So much so that we
are extending the GDPR efforts to all users worldwide.
Through explosive marketing efforts revolving around press
coverage, collaboration with influencers, social content
production/boosting, and inbound campaigns. Our average
cost per user is now 0.16 EUR, but we can confidently go
below that.
Wafer will become the most comprehensive
and connected communication ecosystem,
scaling up to billions of daily users in size.
