# Bix

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/bix/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Bix was an online talent-competition community founded in 2006 by Mike Speiser (co-founder of Epinions), where users created and judged web-based contests across karaoke, dance, photography, writing, beauty, and comedy. Backed by Trinity Ventures, the roughly 16-person startup grew to over one million users within months and was acquired by Yahoo! in November 2006; Yahoo later shut the service down. This API Evangelist profile documents Bix as a historical, defunct consumer company with no live website, developer platform, or API surface to enrich.
