Twitch still commands 54% of live game streaming watch hours globally but faces accelerating pressure from YouTube Gaming's 25% year-over-year growth and upstart Kick.
Twitch was founded in 2011 as a spin-off of Justin.tv focused on game streaming, and was acquired by Amazon in August 2014 for $970 million. Headquartered in San Francisco, it has grown into the world's dominant live interactive entertainment platform, reporting 240 million monthly active users, 35 million daily active users, and an average of 2.37 million concurrent viewers. The platform hosts live streams across gaming, music, creative content, and in-real-life (IRL) categories, with gaming remaining the core audience.
Indian creator economy platform enabling branded mobile app launching for digital product sales; $2M revenue backed by YC helping creators sell courses and e-books directly to audiences.
AppX is a New Delhi-based creator economy platform that enables social media creators to build branded mobile apps and websites to monetize their audience directly — offering tools to sell e-books, online courses, digital downloads, NFTs, and e-commerce products through a creator-owned branded app rather than relying entirely on social platform algorithms and monetization programs. Founded in 2020 and a Y Combinator graduate, AppX raised $1.3 million in seed funding and reached $2 million in revenue by 2024 with 67 employees, targeting the growing Indian and global creator population seeking direct monetization beyond Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.
