  + stars: | 2024-10-16 | by ( Dan Whateley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The creator and marketing company Triller is finally trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker ILLR. The company went public via a reverse merger with a Hong Kong-based company called AGBA. A reverse merger occurs when a private company goes public by acquiring a publicly listed company. That didn't come to fruition, and in December 2021, the company announced plans to complete a reverse merger with a company called Seachange International. Creators, brands, and consumers are the main cohorts that AGBA touts as central to Triller's business in its recent filings.

☆ Triller has pitched its app as a TikTok replacement, but says it won't try to generate revenue directly from its namesake product
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Dan Whateley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Triller said it won't try to generate revenue directly in the short-video app it was named after. The company does not perceive the Triller app as core to how it makes money, Green told Insider. Triller will therefore book costs tied to the Triller app as sales, marketing, general, or administrative expenses rather than as a cost of revenue, it wrote in its securities filing. These costs could include paying talent and influencers to drive adoption of the Triller app, or paying to license music for the app as a brand-building tool, it wrote. In 2022, Triller said it grew overall revenue by roughly 80% year over year to $47.7 million.
