Market Position

The Kiwibox Group is in a unique position because it combines the excitement of a dating community with the benefits and accessibility of a real social network. The Kiwibox Group encourages members to explore local events in their area, connect with other members and enjoy the additional member exclusive benefits the social network is offering, such as games, blogging, chatting, picture-sharing and online-flirting. This community behavior binds users to the platform and is the base for our viral marketing.

Technology Development

The Kiwibox Group is focusing on the fast growing mobile usage phenomenon, being online with friends any time and everywhere. As announced by Mr. Scholz today, the Kiwibox Group expects to release Kiwibox 4.0 during the current quarter.
