CometChat Overview

Our mission: Fuel customer growth through meaningful user-to-user engagement.

CometChat is an all-in-one communication platform that enables businesses to easily integrate customized in-app messaging functionalities across text, voice, and video. This eliminates the need for businesses to start building a messaging module from scratch, and enables their end-users to communicate with each other, resulting in a unified customer experience, increased engagement and retention, and revenue growth.

With CometChats ready-to-use UI kits and powerful SDKs, product teams across start-ups and enterprises alike can easily roll out a feature-rich, scalable, and secure user to user communication module.

Our company has seen rapid growth, thanks to several market validations, including our participation in Techstars Boulder Accelerator in 2019, followed by investments from experienced investors such as iSeed Ventures, Range Ventures, Silicon Badia, noncapital, and Matchstick Ventures. CometChat raised a Series A round from Signal Peak Ventures.

Beyond the market validation, we are fueled by real customer validation serving over 50K customers across the globe in several verticals ranging from dating apps, telehealth apps, and internet marketplaces to thriving global communities. With solid financials, strong organic growth, and increasing demand for in-app communication platforms, we are in an exciting rapid-scale phase.

A global business from the start, we have 100+ team members across our Denver, Salt Lake, Mumbai, and Chennai offices. We are proud of our team and are always looking to expand our tribe!
