Dispo

Dispo (formerly David's Disposable) is an American photo sharing and social networking app owned by Dispo, Inc. and created by Slovak YouTuber David Dobrik and his former assistant Natalie Mariduena. When the app initially launched on iOS in December 2019, it briefly charted as the most downloaded free app on the App Store, ahead of both Disney+ and Instagram. The app was relaunched in March 2021.
History.
On December 21, 2019, the app was first launched on the App Store under the name "David's Disposable". In its first week of release, it was downloaded more than a million times. The app's invite-only feature required users to either join a waiting list or use another user's invitation code in order to access the app.
In September 2020, the name of the app was shortened to "Dispo". The Dispo team consists of Dobrik's longtime friend and business associate Natalie Mariduena as its treasurer, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Daniel Liss as chief executive officer, Regynald Augustin as first engineer, and Briana Hokanson as lead designer. 
The app gained support and endorsements from Alexis Ohanian's venture fund Seven Seven Six alongside other investors such as Unshackled Ventures, Shrug Capital, Weekend Fund, members of The Vlog Squad, Latin World Entertainment’s Sofia Vergara and Luis Balaguer, The Chainsmokers, as well as Roivant CEO Vivek Ramaswamy, Lime CEO Wayne Ting, Knowable CEO Warren Shaeffer, Brud CEO Trevor McFedries, Pizzaslime co-founders Matt Hwang and Stove, and SeatGeek executive Ian Borthwick.
In February 2021, "Axios" reported that the app had generated US$20 million in its series A round, led by Spark Capital. At this time, the app was valued at US$200 million.
In March 2021, the app was relaunched and its invite-only feature was dropped.
Overview.
Dispo has been compared to other image sharing and social networking services, most notably Instagram and VSCO, though users do not have immediate access to the photos they create. When a user attempts to take a photo, the interface mimics the developing process of a disposable camera. Users can take as many photos on the app as they want; they do not appear on the app however, until 9 am the next day. Once the set of photos appear on the app, users can choose to save them or share them with other users in a "roll".
Reception.
"Screen Rant" has called the app "like Clubhouse [referring to the app] but for photos," comparing the invite-only features of the apps. As it greatly restricts the user's editing options and sets out to offer a more authentic social networking experience, the app has been widely dubbed the "anti-Instagram".
On March 21, 2021, it was announced that Spark Capital would sever all ties with Dispo in light of several disparaging allegations against David Dobrik and The Vlog Squad. On March 22, 2021, Seven Seven Six also cut ties with Dispo citing similar reasons. The same day, it was announced that Dobrik would step down from the company's board of directors. "NBC News" later highlighted the loss of Dispo's venture capital funding as an example of the dangers of influencer branding. In the article, David Robinson, a professor of finance at Duke University, observes that the cutting of ties by venture capital firms with a founder or company they invested in was extremely uncommon and was testament to the severity of the allegations against Dobrik.
In March 2021, the app was review bombed on the App Store after Dobrik was accused of orchestrating a prank which resulted in the sexual assault of Seth Francois, a former member of The Vlog Squad.
