History

edit

DrumUp was launched in January 2015.[citation needed] The self-funded company was co-founded[6] by Vishal Dutta, an IIT Delhi and IIM Lucknow alumnus,[7] who leads product development, and Sophia Solanki, an IIT Delhi alumnus,[8][9] who leads marketing. Both of them have several years of experience in the content industry, having run a content services company called Godot Media.[6] Although the development team is based out of Bangalore, the application was first built and launched for the US market.[6]

Features

edit

DrumUp is a content discovery, curation and social sharing platform.[10] It creates personalized content streams for a user based on a set of keywords. The content streams are refreshed daily to help users discover fresh content early.[11][12] The content suggested by the application is based on its relevance to the keywords and the authority of the source.[12] The application uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to find relevant content for the users.[7][10]

The application has several social media content management features.[5] It allows the user to schedule content[13][14] to post on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. The user can queue custom content and also edit or delete suggested content for sharing.[11][15] DrumUp users can also connect their blog's RSS feed to their social accounts to post updates from the blog[16]

Android App

edit

The company announced the release of its Android app on May 15, 2015.[10] The app is aimed at professionals who want to track trends and developments in their industry, and manage their social media accounts on-the-go.[17]

Growth and User Metrics

edit

As of June 2015, DrumUp is reported to be used for sharing close to 100,000 micro-content pieces a month on social media.[7]
