Friendable Identifies New Opportunity Following TikTok CEO’s Meeting With US Congress March 23, 2023, Allocating Resources to Complete a TikTok Competitive App or White-Label Offering Leveraging Existing and Proprietary Technologies


The Company’s Fan Pass technology features share many similarities that TikTok offers users/artists and by updating design elements alongside feature tweaks, the Company will be in position to deploy a new app for the Company or white-label for partners seeking to compete.

CAMPBELL, CA, March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Friendable Inc. (OTC: FDBL) (the “Company”), a mobile technology, marketing and software services provider, is pleased to announce an additional revenue opportunity and strategy to extend its technology to new mobile applications, web apps or products in general that can be rapidly deployed by leveraging its many years of software development and owned assets.

As TikTok has taken over social media in recent years the app has also come under tremendous scrutiny based on its roots or ownership being derived in China. Following the TikTok CEO’s presentation to U.S. Congress on March 23, 2023, which was labeled a disaster by Business Insider last week, Friendable’s team has taken a deep dive under the hood of its existing technology ownership as well as the features and functions of its Fan Pass Livestream Platform that was released in 2020 as a music artist centric app, of which TikTok itself boasts many new music artists launched from the social platform. 

“Our journey continues with even more knowledge, metrics and technology to build upon and after watching and listening intently to the market successes and failures as of late, the recent meeting between TikTok and U.S. Congress was most interesting as our paths are not too different. Seeing the rise, success and ability to attract users to a platform has amazed just about everyone around the world but following a not-so-good meeting it seems likely TikTok will be banned or sold, which created a real excitement for me and our team because we have understood for quite some time now that our tech, features and functions for Fan Pass are not too far off from becoming a TikTok clone or competitor,” said Robert A. Rositano Jr., Friendable, Inc., CEO. 

“This said, we believe there needs to be and will be a TikTok competitor and with the recent developments it seems it may come sooner than later. We must leverage our technology, prepare for this opportunity ourselves, or deliver a white-label managed solution for a partner company our team can support, should they be seeking to compete or become the next TikTok. Additionally, the Company has also secured a domain name that fits with another big name in video streaming and would also lend itself to a white-label offering to compete in this market as well, which I will detail in a future press release. In closing I’d like to remind everyone that it is never a straight line to success and although we’ve been fortunate to have seen many, this journey continues on our road to what I truly believe is more successes just waiting to come to light. The Company will continue to commit resources to our next release of FeaturedX.com, as well as taking care of these artists that have been so patient with the Company following its acquisition of FeaturedX in 2022. Thank you to all the believers, we will never give up,” concluded Mr. Rositano.
