Sendbird offers APIs to help companies build their own text and video communication features. The company's suite of solutions helps businesses worldwide improve customer retention, conversion, & optimized customer support.

The company has been developing its APIs fast, including adding moderation capabilities - an attractive feature in an age that increasingly prioritizes ‘clean’ online communication. Among its newest set of capabilities is Sendbird Live, combining livestream with chat to enable companies to create new and engaging experiences from a single tool.

Its clients include Reddit, Hinge, and DoorDash. They are, however, strategically raising further investment, as the field is competitive even with its impressive client roster and technological instincts, regardless, Sendbird is well positioned within the market to keep ahead of the competition.
