Bandwidth’s inetwork division, the leading choice for innovative and scalable voice, 9-1-1 and SMS solutions, today announced it selected Voxeet as the grand prize winner of the company’s Voice App Igniter Challenge, developed to discover the next disruptive voice and messaging application. As the Challenge winner, Voxeet will receive up to $600,000 in IP communications services from inetwork. Voxeet will use this investment to support its efforts to replace outdated, traditional audio conferencing solutions with its breakthrough Natural Conferencing app.
Voxeet (www.voxeet.com) has developed an affordable, business-quality teleconference service that delivers crystal-clear sound, simultaneous conversations and visual and audio cues to identify who is talking on a call. The company has boldly entered a competitive, crowded and mature market and offers one of the first comprehensive alternatives to teleconference giants such as GoToMeeting and WebEx.
“We have spent years on tireless research and development to create a web conferencing solution that is truly different from everything else on the market today. The awarded services from The Voice App Igniter Challenge speeds our time-to-market and validates all of our hard work,” said Stéphane Giraudie, CEO and founder, Voxeet. “Bandwidth’s inetwork will help propel us the next level and make Voxeet ubiquitous, while helping millions of people enjoy natural conversations – dramatically improving their collaboration experiences.”
The Voice App Igniter Challenge supports Voxeet’s goal of becoming a ubiquitous, universal application. The IP communications services from Bandwidth’s inetwork will help Voxeet extend its technology to support access from landlines and cell phones to completely replace old-style audio conferencing. This support propels Voxeet to another level, so that millions of people can enjoy natural conversations and dramatically improve their collaboration experience. Now anyone can call into a Voxeet conference call – even if they don’t have a Voxeet account. With Voxeet’s PC version already available, its Android and iPhone app being released today, and Voxeet’s Mac version in development, Voxeet is about to become a true cross-platform application.
“Since our founding, we have helped some of the biggest names in telecom, such as Skype, Google, Pinger and Marchex get their voice and messaging applications off the ground, but were still blown away by the high-caliber submissions we received,” said Steve Leonard, executive vice president and general manager of Bandwidth’s inetwork division. “With our awarded services, Voxeet will undoubtedly disrupt the web conferencing market and change the perception of virtual meetings.”
Participants in The Voice App Igniter Challenge submitted their groundbreaking ideas via a short video or written narrative explaining their new way to use a phone number. In addition, participants were asked to demonstrate how their solution would change the world if granted an ability to assign up to one-million phone numbers. Each submission was reviewed by an internal panel that took innovation and creativity into account, coupled with the enthusiasm within the community via “likes,” “shares” and comments. Read more
Sometimes there are good reasons to go behind someone’s back.
Especially during a high-stakes conference call, there are times when you need to connect with a colleague without the whole room knowing.
Now you can. Your own private sound-proof room is available during every Voxeet conference call. We call it “Whisper” and it’s embedded in our technology so you can seamlessly communicate with Joe without everyone else knowing what’s up.
It’s simple, it’s intuitive, and it’s never been done before.
Check it out with a quick, easy trial :
Meetings can be a whole lot of things. Making plans. Arguing. Finding out what you need to know in order to fix a problem. Wondering why in the world he would wear that tie with that shirt.
But no matter what else a particular meeting has to offer, there is one thing you can pretty much count on: you know who’s talking.
With conference calls, this crucial element is often missing. Everyone’s voice is coming from the same spot. It can be confusing to figure out who is saying what. Our brains use a lot of energy looking for cues, like tone or context, to let us know who is saying what. Energy that takes away from our ability to contribute meaningfully to the conversation.
At Voxeet, our raison d’etre is in support of all the things that make conference calling good… remote locations, working in pajamas, hiring the best people regardless of where they live…while doing away with the things that make it bad. We want to know who’s talking and we want to hear them clearly.
We’ve achieved that. Our Natural Conferencing technology enables each speaker’s voice to come from where their avatar is “positioned” in the virtual conference room. So you can tell who’s talking, without using up the brain cells you need to make it an effective meeting.
It works. It’s easy. And you can do it in your pajamas.
We’re just getting started on making conference calls as easy as pie. Stay tuned.

Happy Conferencing!
Our team was at DEMO in Santa Clara to present Voxeet to the world for the first time. We had so much fun, met so many great people and had lots of positive feedback about Voxeet.
To end this week perfectly, we won the DEMOGod Award!
Find out more on Venture Beat and in our News section.
The DEMO 2012 conferences take place in the US, South America and Asia and have served as a launchpad for a slew of good ideas, including Salesforce, Tivo and Skype.We found out last week that we’d been invited to the spring DEMO conference in Silicon Valley to introduce ourselves and launch Voxeet. In between what we’re doing to get ready, we’re pretty much high-fiving it here at Voxeet right now.
It’s pretty great to be in the company of this kind of creative innovation, and we’re excited to talk about how our work can help people.
Although we’re surrounded by massive improvements in how we communicate, the way we experience conference calls hasn’t kept up. We started Voxeet because we believe three things are true:
1. Conference calls are an important way for people to connect
2. They don’t work very well
3. It doesn’t have to be that way
We wanted to create a simple, intuitive tool that would solve the familiar conference call problems:
- poor sound quality,
- confusion about who’s speaking
- and having to hang up if you want to switch to your cell phone.
We’re happy to say we’ve done that.
On April 18, I’ll be onstage for 6 minutes talking about how it works, and why I think it will transform the way people use
the phone to do business. Conference calls will work better, because people can think less about the call, and more about the conversation.
Come see us on the 18th at DEMO.
And… wish us luck!
Stephane
