Admission to Y Combinator, founded in 2005, is highly competitive, and past participants include such companies as Airbnb and Dropbox. WhatsApp has helped to upend mobile services by allowing users to text or call friends and family for free, without text message charges. WhatsApp is also surveying users about the extent to which they talk to businesses on WhatsApp, and whether they have ever received spam, according to the documents. The tests, which are being conducted with a handful of companies that are part of the Y Combinator startup incubator, are an important signal of how WhatsApp plans to make money from its massively popular service. WhatsApp has not developed a business model in the three years since Facebook bought it for a hefty US$19 billion (A$25 billion).
WhatsApp stopped charging users a token subscription fee last year and has yet to develop a concrete business plan since Facebook's landmark $19 billion (£15bn) purchase in 2014. The business chat tool could allow users to speak to their bank on the app or an airline about a delayed flight, Reuters suggests. The Facebook-owned messaging service is examining charging businesses that want to contact customers on WhatsApp, but are wary of users being flooded with spam messages, according to communications about the project seen by Reuters.
