Summary
-- Stephane here -- CEO of Picslo, creators of the Walkie Talkie social app - an audio-first, game-powered social app that gets Gen Z talking — no pictures, no video, no pressure, no feed — Walkie Talkie is all talk & games. GenZ loves a good talk like anyone else — from deep dives on life’s mysteries to just messing around and having a laugh. But with the disappearance of their ‘third place,’ there aren’t many opportunities to engage with new people. Enter Walkie Talkie, where almost 2M people hop on monthly for informal talk. Many have been gaming while talking, but they’ve been asking for 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲. So, we’re leveraging AI to design new talking games and reimagining old favorites to level up this thriving hangout where making friends is about to get even more fun! I met my co-founders when they were working for me at Voxeet and (thankfully!!) I agreed to let them use our spatial audio technology to build their project on the side (now Picslo). In 2019 Dolby acquired Voxeet and we all joined the company to create Dolby.io, the world-class API platform. Learn more about my tech story in Forbes, TechCrunch and Gartner. And get in touch if you’d like to be the first to cover my off-road adventures motorbiking in the Mojave or in Moab. Insane drone opps. -- over -- #socialaudioapp #genz
