Tango

Live-stream platform enabling creator monetization

Overview

Tango is a social live-streaming platform that helps creators broadcast talents to a global audience and earn money from their content. It works by offering a mobile app where users can watch live streams, chat with creators and other fans, and send virtual gifts. Those gifts can be converted into real money by the streamers, with revenue coming from a freemium model that charges for in-app purchases and subscriptions for boosted features. Unlike some competitors, Tango emphasizes a large mobile audience, a straightforward path for creators to monetize through gifts and subscriptions, and an integrated social experience built around live video and chat. The company’s goal is to enable creators to turn live entertainment and social interaction into income by growing a global community with accessible monetization tools.
