absolute legends

[fai nur @faionur]

Status has raised $17M in seed and Series A funding led by @AbstractVC, @generalcatalyst and @usv to let anyone step inside their favorite stories, become famous, and live a million different lives.

We quietly launched Status last year and grew to over 1 million users in 19 days - making us the fastest growing AI app since ChatGPT.

But we hit a (predictable) snag - the app was incredibly expensive to run. How do you serve millions of users without degrading the product with a cheap LLM?

So the team locked in: we rebuilt the whole experience, and our technical bets paid off. Our users now spend 35 minutes on average to (90 minutes each day for power users!), and millions of characters and worlds have been created. All by our users.

The next frontier of entertainment is mobile-first and deeply personal. Traditional mobile games take years to build and rarely stick. TV shows are fleeting in the age of streaming. Status is different. It is not a game you finish, it is a world you can live in.

Status is a new category entirely: Immersive Social Entertainment, and we believe strongly that it is the next great entertainment paradigm. We’ve 10x’d to millions in annual revenue in Q1 2026, we're just getting started.

On Status, you can be anyone.

[Backrooms Movie Updates @KaneHypeGuy]

Instupendo teases something Backrooms related coming “tomorrow” on their Instagram story. The image is incredibly similar to another set photo A24 has shared before… could this be related to the movie? 🤔

[Pigeons & Planes @PigsAndPlans]

This Brian Eno quote about The Velvet Underground has been passed around for decades in various forms, tracing back to a Los Angeles Times story from 1982.⁠
⁠
In a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone, Eno confirmed that he did in fact say it, and to Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed himself. It feels especially relevant today. So much of the music industry has been boiled down to data, chart positions, first-week sales, and stats. Cultural impact is harder to measure and sometimes impossible to pinpoint in the moment.⁠
⁠
Whether it's Dean Blunt, Jai Paul, SOPHIE, Lil B, Burial, Dijon, SpaceGhostPurrp, MF DOOM, or Broadcast, there are so many artists who have quietly shaped new scenes, sounds, and movements in ways you can't sum up neatly with streaming data or social media analytics.⁠
⁠
The term "your favorite artist's favorite artist" has been thrown around so much these days that it barely means anything, but things like this Eno quote remind you that in some cases, it still carries real significance.⁠
⁠
Shout out to all the artists who push things forward, inspire their peers, and don't always generate first-week sales numbers to prove it. And to all the people who started a band after hearing The Velvet Underground.
