"@SoundCloud is here to stay," Chance tweeted, one day after tweeting that he was "working on the SoundCloud thing."
TechCrunch reported on Thursday that SoundCloud had only enough funding to last for another 50 days, despite its massive layoffs from earlier this month. SoundCloud later disputed the report, saying that TechCrunch's sources (laid-off employees) had misinterpreted a briefing from company executives.
It is unclear whether Chance's tweet is simply a confirmation of Ljung's insistence that SoundCloud is "fully funded through the fourth quarter," or perhaps a sign that Chance wants to get more involved in fostering its long-term success.
Earlier on Friday, Chance reached out to fans of SoundCloud with the following tweets:
SoundCloud was not immediately available for comment.
