Overview

WebRTC is the reason we’ve stayed connected and productive during the COVID era, powering most of the browser-based video communications platforms you use every day (Google Meet, Facebook Messenger, etc.). But when a call gets dropped or the audio cuts out, it’s hard for the video developers to understand why it happened. This is a major problem for new players in the video chat industry that lose customers because of call quality issues; customers should be able to use video platforms with the features they want without having to sacrifice call quality.

Michael Rupprecht

Founder

I am a math major at Caltech with an interest in solving problems generally. I'm a cofounder of Postered, Inc., where we're developing an iOS app focusing on an AR experience for buying eyewear, but my past professional experience has been mainly in the financial industry, with some teaching jobs as well. My "hobby interests" include education/pedagogy (mainly in math), learning about cultures, urban development and rail infrastructure, law, and history.

Kapil Sinha

Founder

Hi, I'm a Caltech 2020 alum, where I majored in Computer Science. I have worked as an employee at options market-makers in Chicago, big tech in the Pacific Northwest, and a tech startup in the Bay Area - I am a big fan of startup culture and California weather :) I especially enjoy a combination of backend development and product management.
