Cosmic currently has over 1,500 global users that represent 126 countries that have used the platform. Cosmic users represent a variety of industries, from interactive agencies and development shops to travel, healthcare, FinTech, banking, analytics, professional services & more. Cosmic Founders Tony Spiro and Carson Gibbons project exceeding 2,000 global users by mid to late October, coupled with the 1 Million API requests mark.

The new Cosmic Community allows users to easily sign up for the Cosmic Slack Channel, follow and engage with social channels and resources such as GitHub, Twitter & Facebook.
2. Content Creation / Curation
The Cosmic Founders actively contribute to the Cosmic Blog, and recently have received requests from agency partners to be able to contribute to the blog eco-system.
3. Websites & Apps
