Wabi has raised $20 million in a pre-seed funding round to build a new interactive app discovery platform.
The startup was founded by Eugenia Kuyda, the creator of the AI companion app Replika, and intends to offer a “YouTube of apps” experience.
The platform allows users to try apps instantly through an interactive vertical feed without installing them first.
The funding will be used to develop the core technology, grow the team, and support the upcoming public launch.
Wabi aims to address the challenge of app discovery in crowded mobile marketplaces by making exploration more dynamic and engaging.
Investor interest signals confidence in platforms that reduce friction between discovery and adoption of mobile applications.
