@shansinha There are a lot of really interesting companies working on tools to allow more fluid communication in and between companies (Slack and Quip are two that come to mind). Can you talk about how you and your team decided to focus on this product and how Highfive sees itself competing (if at all) with those types of tools down the line?
@AndrewUdell We see Slack & Quip as complementary (and related products). Our focus is on offering a solution to real time communication using video when you have a few people in 1 more conference rooms trying to connect with a few people that are remote or in different geographies. This is the 80% meeting that we all participate in. When everyone is sitting at their desk and needing to "chat", Slack / Hipchat etc are great. We have used both and believe they are very useful right along side Highfive which is for more "meaty" conversations.
If you're looking for a free alternative to Zoom or Hangouts, look else where. This product requires you to get their hardware. This has been my best experience using a video conferencing service thus far! Well done 👏🏼
Pros:
Super easy UX, excellent connection quality, top notch hardware made IN HOUSE
Cons:
None so far.

I want one of these and I don't even need it! Agree that it's easy for us in startup world to forget that a gazillion people don't use google apps. If only I could use something as simple as this to run webinars.
