It started as an idea to diversify venture capital investing, and now, it’s a reality. Fresh out of stealth mode, the Black Angel Group (BAG for short), was formed during the pandemic. BAG is a collective of professionals across Google and Alphabet dedicated to investing in early-stage, venture-backable, high growth startups. Check out this TechCrunch article to learn about our goals and what we’ve been working on during the past year. #startups #investing https://lnkd.in/ggCDpBmb

"A lot of companies, they optimize towards exits. It could be a couple hundred million dollars, could be a billion dollars, but I truly believe that this company [Audiomob] can IPO because of performance advertising. I really think that this company could generate billions of dollars." — Christian Facey, Co-Founder and CEO of Audiomob 🚀 Next up in our interview series, we feature Audiomob, a platform that helps advertisers better reach their consumers and helps game developers better monetize their games by allowing users to programmatically insert audio ads into mobile games in a non-intrusive way. They are also one of the Black Angel Group’s earliest portfolio companies. In our discussion, we uncover some key takeaways: ➡ Audiomob analyzes a mobile phone's audio signals (contextual data) in milliseconds to target users with non-intrusive ads, all without using their personal data. This is incredibly complex; billion-dollar companies have failed to do this analysis in a short timeframe, solidifying their technological advantage. ➡ Each developer sees a 5-15% increase in revenue. Their developer relations team helps each developer onboard individually, with integration time usually within six to eight weeks including time for split testing. ➡ 95% of users prefer audio ads to video ads because they do not block gameplay, leading to an increase in retention, gaming session times, etc. Interested in supporting? In line with their rapid growth, they're #hiring for various roles. Consider applying and/or sharing with your network!

A huge congrats to our portfolio company AudioShake for their new partnership with the Disney Music Group! AudioShake's innovative AI technology allows music tracks to be deconstructed into individual stems, which can then be used for remixes, sampling, and other creative applications. This will be a game-changer for DMG's catalog, which includes everything from the earliest recordings of Mickey Mouse to contemporary classics across a wide range of genres. We're excited to see all the magic that comes from this partnership ✨ https://lnkd.in/gEYBc5TD
