  • Life on Air's new venture Houseparty was built in secrecy for months.

    Before its official launch on 28th September, it was launched on the Android and iOS app store with the developer name listed as "Alexander Herzick".

    It quickly became number 2 in Apple App Store's downloads list.

    The video chatting app allows users to jump into "parties" of 8 people simultaneously.

    Houseparty's popularity

  • After Houseparty rose to number 2 in Apple App Store's download list, "Alexander Herzick" (for whom fake Facebook and LinkedIn pages were created) received several emails from venture capitalists requesting a meeting. Life On Air responded to the venture capitalists by sending Daft Punk GIFs.
