In this episode, I chat with Michael Xu about his career both as a streamer and in building products for this market. Subjects we cover include:
- How he made Top 20 Under 20 in Canada
- The rise of the nerd
- Life as a streamer
- V-tubers and the culture around them
- Building for streamers
- And much more...
Michael was a former streamer on Twitch and content creator on Youtube for mobile games. He then took the insights from his time as a streamer to build Kappamon, which is now a beloved addition to over 400,000 livestream channels on Twitch and Trovo.
With Kappamon's revenue Michael is building his own games studio, Adventure Studios: they create unique mobile games at the cross-section of mid-core RPGs and livestream social interactions with their very own vtuber team. Michael runs his operations out of Shanghai and the company is going from strength to strength; they recently close their seed round where they successfully raised $1.5m.
Interested streamers can check out kappamon.com or on twitter @kappamon_ or for those Vtuber fans, check out vtuber Eoria on Tiktok and Twitter under her handle @eoria_ (same for both platforms).
Finally, the c-walking video that Michael talks about in the podcast can be found here on YouTube. Enjoy!
