What's the pricing structure? Seeing no reference to it on your website makes me caught of adopting it.

Free until the end of Aug. Custom pricing if it's a one off event. If you wanted a recurring use case, lets chat? ali@rally.video

How's it different from Houseparty?

Houseparty is focused on social consumers and maxes out at 8 people. We are focused on networking and events that would normally require a bar or banquet hall, and right now we max out at 35. Houseparty might work best for small groups, and we find most people use it once and leave. With Rally we see people coming back at least weekly for events on our platform.

Cool product. How is this different from https://speakeasy.co ?

From what I see speakeasy is something closer to chat-roullte. Though I failed to match with someone there.

Oh just saw this. We have a shuffle feature that is similar to speakeasy but I think our room structure and goals are very different.

I'm curious why you decided to target businesses instead of people.

In other words, the pitch on your site doesn't sound like a place I'd go as a normal person to have a party with some friends. It sounds like a service a company pays for to host branded events.

Targeting everyone seems like the explosive growth trajectory where as targeting businesses does not, at least to me. If some venue uses this they'd advertise themselves, not you?

I get that I'm clueless about this topic so I'm not claiming to be right. Just curious. I get that business customers pay but the YC way seems to be growth first?

I'm DJing in there right now if anyone wants to see how it might look for a party! https://go.rally.video/venue/a999ddd9-ab89-4d9b-b509-d322d5e...

Hmm. I'm not sure if maybe I'm not using it correctly or what, but I can't actually hear people that have joined. (Might just be they're not talking.)

Confirmed working now. Yes that was me. :)
