Founded in 2021 by Andros Wong, Adam Hayes, and June Li, Wonder, also known as Wonderverse, operates from its headquarters in San Francisco. The company is focused on enhancing online communities by providing tools for monetization, growth, and retention. A significant milestone was achieved on October 29, 2021, when the company secured $2.94 million in a seed funding round. This round attracted nine institutional investors, including notable firms like Slow Ventures, Alumni Ventures, and Interplay.
Wonder targets the burgeoning market of digital communities, particularly those on platforms like Discord and Telegram. The business provides a community engagement bot designed to streamline the onboarding process for new members, reduce churn, and prevent bot activity. Its business model appears to be tiered, offering Plus, Premium, and Ecosystem levels of service, with custom pricing available for larger projects, suggesting a subscription-based revenue stream. To facilitate monetization for its clients, Wonder integrates with Stripe for payment processing, allowing communities to sell digital and physical products directly to their members.
The core of Wonder's offering is a versatile bot that gamifies the community experience. It introduces features like quests, which members can complete to earn rewards, a leveling system, and leaderboards to foster engagement. Rewards can range from digital items like NFTs, tokens, and POAPs to physical merchandise and product discounts. The platform also includes a powerful analytics dashboard that provides community managers with insights into member engagement and the effectiveness of their marketing and reward strategies. This allows them to identify valuable members and cultivate a more active and loyal community. Additionally, Wonder supports on-chain micropayments and offers features to gate access to content or products based on on-chain holdings or off-chain participation.
