Our Story

Contrary to popular belief, streaming live video isn’t terribly difficult provided you have the right tools and guidance. Drawing from their personal live production and industry sales experiences, our co-founders, a.k.a “The Dudes,” created a company with an emphasis on making webcasting as easy as possible.
