both figuratively and literally

　　The launch of iOS 10 and its iMessage Store has launched emojis and stickers into mainstream communication. In fact, 6 billion emoticons are sent every day. And a new startup called MojiLaLa is looking to capitalize, both figuratively and literally.

　　MojiLaLa is a marketplace that lets artists submit their sticker packs to the iOS store with zero hassle, for free.

　　The company has just raised $1.5 million in seed funding from Great Oaks Ventures and betaworks ventures, and IVp partner Dennis phelps.

　　Founder and CEO Dana Loberg, a former artist, says that the process of submitting art to the App Store requires learning XCode, owning a Mac and iphone, and $99. MojiLaLa does all the heavy lifting for artists for free, letting them focus on their artwork instead of their business development.

　　MojiLaLa lists these sticker packs within iOS on behalf of the artists, and splits revenue 50/50. Loberg says that, eventually, the company plans to expand artist revenues to an 80 percent share once the visual communication revolution is in full swing.

　　Alongside listing sticker packs for artists, MojiLaLa also has its own app (MojiLaLa Unlimited) that lets users subscribe to get complete access to over 25,000 stickers. Users pay $1.99/month to get access to these stickers, and artists who opt-in to list on MojiLaLa unlimited get an extra level of visibility for their work.

　　As we advance closer to mainstream AR/VR experiences, a relationship with artists become incredibly important. Artists are the ones who create the face filters we use in Snapchat, and the virtual objects we’ll interact with in Facebook Spaces, and that list will only continue to grow.

　　MojiLaLa wants to position itself as the over-arching representative of those artists in the tech world, handling all the back-end expertise and heavy lifting while giving artists the opportunity to put their work on the platforms we use the most.

　　MojiLaLa has integrations with platforms like Kika Keyboard, Baidu, Giphy, Line, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft, Skype, Gfycat, and Telegram, with more than 2,000 artists on the platform.

company called CarDash wants to make

　　For car owners, getting their vehicle repaired or even dealing with routine maintenance can be a pain. Launching today, a company called CarDash wants to make auto service less painful and more transparent.

　　Available initially in the Bay Area, CarDash works with a number of local service centers so that it can ensure a high quality of work, while also reducing the cost and amount of time it takes for repairs to be completed.

　　To help people on the go, the company offers an end-to-end concierge service, so car owners will no longer have to drop off their vehicles at a service center before work or pick them up at the end of the day. Instead CarDash sends a driver to their home or place of business and can usually have their car checked out within a couple of hours.

　　Once an initial diagnosis is done, CarDash will provide the car owner with a transparent price quote of the work that needs to be done and the cost of parts and service. The company references manufacturer recommendations as well as car service records to determine what usually needs to be done, and has part pricing data to estimate the usual cost.

　　Because CarDash can drive a higher volume of vehicles to the different service centers it partners with, the company can demand that its customers’ cars are looked at faster than someone driving in off the street. It also gets better pricing and makes money off the difference between what service centers charge it and the price the company quotes to customers.

　　The idea is to reduce or even eliminate the distrust that comes with taking one’s car to a service center, only to find that a problem isn’t fixed or that an initial diagnosis comes with a long list of other problems a mechanic might claim needs to be fixed.

　　Because CarDash is managing customer support, it’s incentivized to work with service centers that it knows are going to get the job done well. And because CarDash is sending mechanics business, they are incentivized to play things straight with the company.
