Unless you’re a teenage girl, you’re likely not using the video blogging platform Keek. But just because it’s niche (with 85 percent of users being between 13 and 25, and 70 percent of them being female) doesn’t mean Keek is not exceptionally popular, counting some 60 million users up to this month, consistently recording astronomical growth.

The service, which allows members to post and share 36-second long videos called "keeks," has become a favorite of celebrities like the Kardashian family and their legion of young fans. However fast its user base is growing though, the Canada-based Keek has not been bringing in any revenue.

This isn’t always a problem for a young social media start-up (see: Snapchat), but Keek was bleeding money so fast they were in danger of going under completely. The company burned through $30 million from Jan 2012 to August 2013, amouting to the vast majority of their seed money.

To save themselves, Keek has elected to go public far earlier than normal for a start-up and in a most unusual fashion that will definitely change the direction and growth potential of the company, most likely in a negative direction.

Keek made its public debut on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange via an unusual reverse takeover from Primary Petroleum Corporation, a Canadian oil and gas indie. Primary is sinking at least $2.6 million in free cash into Keek, which should keep them afloat for awhile.

Of course, Keek is now going to have to appeal to the broad market for more cash and is now subject to the trading whims of the penny stock market. This premature debut on the market also shuts the door on a major financing round from angel investors, which could have injected up to $100 million into the fledgling start-up.

So instead of courting Silicon Valley’s elite and playing in the big leagues of tech, Keek has been forced to take a seat at the penny stock kid’s table. It’s not an impossible place to move on from, as previous penny stock “success stories” like True Religion Jeans and BJ’s Restaurant can attest. But it is exceedingly difficult, and does not bode well for Keek’s chances of being a “next big thing” in social media.

As of March 18, Keek was trading on the TSX at 17 cents a share.

also; wie immer bei social media , gerade mal so von der Klinge gesprungen, und jetzt haben sie wohl 1-2 jahre um das Ding zu schaukeln.
Ich bin gestern eingestiegen, hopp oder top.

gründe für den einstieg:
1)mir gefällt die nutzerstruktur sehr gut,
2)das produkt funktioniert, scheint den fun-factor zu haben bei der Zielgruppe, ich finds blöd und banal- gehöre allerdings auch nicht zur zielgruppe :-) ,
3)pinetree und sheldon sind massiv eingestiegen und können sich eigentlich keinen zock erlauben; nach der performance der letzten jahre geht ihnen langsam das geld aus (pinetree.com),
4)schliesslich und endlich : dass das management auch solche kritischen artikel veröffentlicht:
http://investors.keek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/The-Glo…

negativ an dem ganzen ist IMO, dass
a) wohl kein geld erwirtschaftet werden kann in den nächsten jahren- wie üblich bei solchen Klitschen,
b)die Wachstumsdynamik schon etwas abgenommen hat, wenn ich mir die verfügbaren user -zahlen richtig angeschauen habe (das ist aber nur Eindruck, muss man sich noch genauer anschauen und zukünftig verfolgen).

von shawshank aus dem sh board: sehr schön aufgearbeitete hintergrundinfo

I have posted the link to an article in the past earlier into my entry on this thread covering the financing initiative in the US by the former CEO primarily courting the venture guys-deep pockets in the tech space in the Silicone Valley area of the wild wild west.

In essence failure to secure $100million in financing occurred because the former CEO was for all intent and purposes a canadian cowboy-in that he wanted to "go it alone" as a Canadian entity for the most part-and was inflexible on the value he himself believed based on peer comparables and the exponential growth and KEEK amongst registered users and active users and the incredibly low lack of churn ...to be $1.2billion USD dollars. and he was not willing to value KEEK any less than that at the time-so when the interest in KEEK during the dog and pony high level talks down there was occuring-he basically buy the kybosh on the capital interests in KEEK from SV because he thought he had the liberty of returning to Canada and raising capital without having to give the company away to the US counteparts-becauase he had raised capital in the past up here without much fanfare but nevertheless quite successfully in the past.

So he let his ego get in the way and thought he would show the US beagles that KEEK could go it alone up in the great white north-was dumb move IMO...back than and now.
When the former CEO tried to raise capital with the same parties of the past they were of a much different mindset this time around wanting to see a return on investment thru monetization of the KEEK model vs constantly investing in infrastructure to continually support the building user base and experience of the KEEKSTER universe....the former CEO had no interest of plan to monetize the model as he was of the position it was premature and to concentrate solely on subscriber/registered user growth.

And in this "period" KEEK itself required an injection and access to capital to build more servers...infrastructure etc etc to keep pace with the interest and its growth...for some companies in the bricks and mortar world it is sometimes fatal to have product demand
and unable to deliver...which in the tech space was happening with KEEK at the time.

So the CEO was ousted...the other co-creator of KEEK had some type of relationship with MM of Primary-who were approached-a loose framework for a deal copacetic to both parties worked out-moved to a definitive agreement with access to Primarys abundant cash on hand and abundantly more cash on hand after the sale of its geophysical oil and gas assets as Primary for all intent and purposes had ceased being a Oil and Gas interest as the canadian resource sector fell out of favor and PIE had a hoard of cash it was sitting on and was conserving it-looking for other opportunites to exploit and explore.

Que KEEK INC and the reverse take over application to the exchange

Que to today where we are right now-and what has been ongoing...building out the infrastucture for KEEK-making up for that lag time KEEK surrendered due to lack of capital to competitors in the space yet erstwhile its numbers remaining very very strong.

We have seen already in short order changes made-there are more coming that enrich the KEEK experience and discourage churn that many others sites suffer from...KEEK has one of the lowest churns in the space...meaning dedicated daily users.

The ability and possibilities to monetize the KEEK model as Seeking Alpha in their Jan 2014 article on KEEK said...are "limitless".

I am not to moved at .185 per share which is my average cost fwiw-anymore than .40...Mike M has made it known what they plan do with KEEK going forward.

Its very new as a publicly traded identity.

Things will heat up going4wd.

Timing is key.

We're early.

Keek Expands U.S. Presence
Names Media and Entertainment Veterans Alexandra Cameron CEO, Lin Dai CMO

TORONTO, ON, Apr 23, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Keek Inc. CA:KEK +9.68% (otcqx:KEEKF) announces, as part of its continued global expansion the appointment of Alexandra Cameron as its Chief Executive Officer and Board Director of Keek. Cameron hails from such companies as Emmis Communications Corp., Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and MediaGroup West, Inc. She has broad experience across multiple media channels and a track record of building and monetizing world class brands. The role of CEO was previously held by Mike Marrandino, who will remain as Board Director.

"I would like to first thank Mike Marrandino for his guidance during the merger process and for serving as CEO. We are delighted that he will continue in his role as a Board Director. Mike has passed the baton to a proven leader that has a unique and innovative approach. Alexandra possesses both a strong business acumen, combined with creative DNA, which is a tough find. She embodies the kind of dynamic energy and vision that will allow Keek to thrive. Alexandra has a long track record in leveraging and monetizing content not only in the digital space but also in print, radio and television with a broad scope and perspective of great depth and dimension. She is about as competitive as it gets!" said John Jussup, Chairman of the Board.

Founded in 2011, Keek is a leading mobile video social network, used by over 66 million teens and young adults worldwide, including celebrities such as International Star Kim Kardashian, Singer and Songwriter Ariana Grande, Actress and Model Ashley Benson and more. The platform is known for its "keeks" -- short 36 second video updates. Members create keeks via smart phone or web cam and share them via Email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. Posting keeks is a way to show the world what you are up to in real-time.

"My strategic plan will focus on increasing engagement on the platform and developing a compelling revenue model while enhancing the user experience," commented Cameron, "By providing unique social interactions, we are going to make Keek an integral part of consumers' lives and deliver greater value to our shareholders."

Cameron most recently served as SVP, GM of Emmis NY, leading one of the world's most iconic radio brands HOT 97, Emmis' national digital network Loud Digital, and Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium, the largest annual hip hop festival in the world. Her reputation has been built on leadership in the media and marketing industry, driving audiences to groundbreaking content sought after by Fortune 500 advertisers.

Cameron has won numerous awards including: Radio Ink's 2013 "Best Managers in America" list as well as "Most Influential Women in Radio," four years consecutively. She currently sits on the board of Advertising Week, the world's biggest conference for the advertising industry, attended by leading brands, agencies and media companies. She also served as a Board Director for NYSBA (New York Broadcasters Association).

Cameron, originally from Canada, will lead Keek globally. Her first task will be expanding Keek's U.S. presence by opening a New York office and hiring a sales and marketing team to take the mobile video social network to the next level. This begins with the appointment today of Lin Dai as Chief Marketing Officer.

Most recently, Dai served as VP of Digital Programming for Emmis NY, where he was responsible for digital and television content and branded entertainment initiatives. In that role, he launched Loud Digital, a premium multi-cultural digital network reaching 61 million viewers, and established content franchises such as the Summer Jam concert live stream, the most watched Hip Hop event on the internet. Dai also co-developed VH1's comedy series "This Is Hot97" with Cameron, serving as producer.

Dai's experience in growing digital platforms spans over 15 years. Prior to joining Emmis, Dai served as SVP, Programming & Development for Alloy Media + Marketing, where he established the Alloy Digital Network, the largest digital advertising network for teens and young adults, reaching over 100 million viewers. He was also responsible for digital and social media marketing for Alloy's Entertainment properties, including Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars and more. In 1999, Dai founded Kiwibox.com, the first social network and online magazine for teens that was successfully taken public.

Cameron remarks, "Lin is a very talented executive with an impressive track record in the digital space. He was one of the social network pioneers starting his own company out of his dorm room. His work with me at Emmis was instrumental in putting HOT97 on the global stage both digitally and beyond. I am proud to have him join the Keek leadership team. His experience with digital marketing and expertise in the teen and youth media space is exactly what Keek needs. I couldn't be partnered with a stronger CMO."

"Keek is the most exciting mobile video social network in the world," adds Dai, "For a digital marketer who strongly believes in great content, Keek is a dream come true. No other mobile video platform provides the level of flexibility and communication capability like Keek. Thirty six seconds allows you more freedom to be creative, and 60 million members worldwide is the proof. I'm excited to work with Alex to bring Keek to every teen and young adult on the planet!"

Keek also announces the grant of stock options to Cameron and Dai to purchase in aggregate 7,400,000 common shares pursuant to the stock option plan. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.16 per share and expire April 23, 2019.

hallo 6 mitleser :-)
geht mal auf keek.com
relaunch der seite. klappt gut, war heute einige male drauf, öfters übertragungsprobleme - hopefully wg traffic

Keek vs. Vine:

Vorteil für Keek: 32 Sek vs. 6 Sek mit Vine
Vorteil für Vine: Videos sind bearbeitbar
Vorteil für Vine: Das Unternehmen wurde von Twitter gekauft.

Warumm sollte sich also Keek gegen Vine durchsetzen?

Zugegeben, Keek hat eine beeindruckende Userzahl - allerdings, wenn ich es richtig verstehe, noch kein wirkliches Geschäftsmodell, bzw. es ist noch nicht klar, wie man aus den Usern Gewinn machen kann. Gibt es da Fortschritte?
