Kik Snapshot
We believe the smartphone era represents a transformation as big as the rise of the PC or the creation of the Internet. We believe that chat is at the core of the smartphone era.
Our Promoted Chats and marketing tools let brands engage their fans in a whole new way. And for developers, we've built APIs and libraries to help optimize their web sites for mobile and for Kik.
By building our messenger, our tools for brands, and our platform for developers, we believe we will dominate in chat.

Kik was founded in 2009, when a small but incredibly passionate group of University of Waterloo students decided to build a company that would shift the center of computing from the PC to the phone.
Fast forward to today, and Kik Messenger has become the best way to connect with friends, no matter where you meet them. Kik, unlike other messengers, uses usernames (not phone numbers) for our Kik accounts, so our users are always in control of who they talk to on Kik.
Kik, however, goes beyond just chatting with friends. Our built-in browser lets users search for and share cool content and experiences. Users can do all of this, without ever leaving Kik or downloading anything new.
To top it all off, we’re backed by major name-brand VC’s - the same firms that first helped Twitter, Foursquare, Zynga and others rise to world domination.
With over 185 million beloved Kik fans and a phenomenal team, our plans are well underway.
