The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

Sure, they make a new product get more venture capital shut down the old product, then wash, rinse, repeat.

There were some successful Twitter clients I think. TweetDeck was famous and ended up acquired by Twitter.
