Rus Yusupov Career

Career

Yusupov began his career as a digital product designer at firms such as Razorfish and R/GA, where he worked on projects including as the lead designer on the first version of Hulu.com in 2007.

Yusupov co-founded Vine, a looping, short-form video service, in June 2012. Vine was sold on Twitter in October 2012 for $30 million, less than a month before the service's official launch. Vine was ranked No. 1 on the App store for free downloads in 2013 and became the most popular video sharing app in the country at the time. Yusupov was deprioritized by Twitter in late 2015. "Don't sell your company," Yusupov posted later.

Yusupov co-founded Intermedia Labs, an app studio, after leaving Twitter in 2015.

Hype, Intermedia Labs' first app, was a website that allowed users to post a variety of multimedia files as part of a live broadcast.

Bounce, an app that allows users to "remix" videos, and HQ Trivia, an appointment-based trivia game that is broadcast live to mobile phones, are among Intermedia Labs' subpoenas.

HQ Trivia, Intermedia's most popular app to date, was launched in August 2017. For each episode, the game attracted 700,000-1,000,000 viewers. HQ was available on the iPhone and Google Play store, as well as live shows targeted to North American, Australian, and UK audiences.

The app looked like a live game show, viewed at 9 p.m. Eastern Time every day, and at other times for special themed shows (focused on specific topics such as sports, music, or word-puzzles). Each with three potential answers, the show's host asked a series of (usually) twelve multiple choice questions. Those players who answered the questions within the 10-second time were allowed to continue playing, while the remainder were banned. The players who answered the final question split the prize money. This was the most recent $5,000 for most games, but on one occasion, it had been as high as $400,000.

Yusupov threatened to fire HQ host Scott Rogowsky if the website wanted to run a story about Rogowsky's ascension to prominence via HQ, according to a 2017 Daily Beast story. Yusupov later denied the allegations that were untru. After the company's primary investors had stopped funding the firm, and a potential sale of HQ to a "established company" fell through, HQ sparked on February 14, 2020. Yusupov tweeted that Trivia's headquarters would be returning the evening on March 29, 2020.
