Company mission
To allow anyone to be a creative by recontextualizing content fast with their friends & community.
-39% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
With a mission to enable creativity within friendship groups and communities, Piñata Farms is a meme app on which to create, discover and share custom memes. Whilst the app is free, select content creators can earn money during, what Piñata Farm call, Farming Season when other users remix their memes.
Soon after conception, the company raised $20M in a deal led by Index Ventures. This funded team expansion, recruiting ex-employees of giants like ByteDance, Twitch and Pinterest. This early success is perhaps unsurprising given the company exponentially grew its users without marketing simply due to word-of-mouth online.
Indeed, in this digitising age with content creation working hand-in-hand with social media, Piñata Farm will doubtlessly continue this impressive growth.
