Stream overview

What is Stream?

From Amsterdam to Boulder and Techstars in-between, Stream has raised over $58.25M to help build Chat Messaging & Activity Feed experiences faster than ever before.

With Stream, users can accelerate the launch of apps and remove the roadblocks of limited scalability, high maintenance, and questionable reliability with assistance from ready-made APIs and SDKs. These solutions feature unparalleled performance and UX that would otherwise take years to build in-house. By leveraging Stream, users free up more time for their team to focus on developing features that make the app unique.
