Our take
Livestorm is a video communication startup hoping to continue its success in the booming video conferencing market, with its entirely web-based product.
The company sees itself as going beyond the traditional webinar/meeting distinction, instead offering slightly different tailored products for each individual use-case - from one-on-one meetings to marketing events directly streamed to Twitch. By focusing less on the core video technology and more on the experience around the video, Livestorm has differentiated itself from larger competitors like Zoom and Teams.
Livestorm is using its 2020 funding to expand its rapidly growing presence in the US. This market already represents one-third of its customer base. Forbes rated it as one of the best Webinar platforms in 2023.
