Rally is Zoom for social events

Y CombinatorSummer 2020ActiveConsumerSocialCollaborationVideoSocial

What they do

Problem

Traditional video conferencing tools make social events awkward because participants cannot fluidly move between conversations or feel like they are in a shared space.

Solution

Rally provides a virtual social space with audio/video groups that users can freely hop between while hearing nearby groups, like in-person mingling.

Who it's for

Institutions and organizations (enterprises, universities, and startups) hosting virtual social events like happy hours and networking.
