Why we’re building Huddle 01 — Our Mission Statement

Internet penetration has had an enormous impact on how human beings communicate. Social interactions are moving online at a break-neck speed. Be it Classrooms, Office meetings, Events or Concerts — everything is now accessible via video meetings/conferencing. Unfortunately, current video conferencing solutions are not catered towards any specific use-case or industry. This leads to low engagement among participants — sometimes leading to fatigue.

Video conferencing fatigue is real.

Social interactions among humans are complex. It differs widely between various environmental settings like classrooms, offices, events or concerts. Hence, making video conferencing products specifically catered towards each of them is of essence for a good online experience.

Huddle 01 wants to address this problem for the education industry. There is a need for video conferencing solution which gives a holistic classroom experience. Educators needs certain tools to seamlessly deliver class in remote settings, while students need features that can keep the class interactive, collaborative and learning fun.

Huddle 01 is on a mission to make video conferences engaging for the education industry.

We at Huddle 01 are in touch with hundreds of educators and students to better understand the problems they face while using the current solutions. Based on insights, we are designing a product which caters the need of them.

HUDDLE 01 solves for:

1. Missing Classroom Experience — Current solutions do not have features like attendance tracker, rewards for students, collaborative note making and more. Huddle 01 is coming up with such features to make the classes engaging.
2. Sub-par Video/Audio Quality — In large classes choppiness & lag in video and audio is observed far too often. This leads to a bad learning experience. Huddle 01 is built on decentralized technology which solves this problem.
3. High Storage Costings — Educators generally have to record all the sessions they take. The size of these recordings go in Terra-bytes (TBs) and storing those on Amazon S3 becomes extremely expensive and unsustainable. Huddle 01 instead uses Filecoin for storage which is ~5X cheaper than S3.

We believe Huddle 01 will be beneficial for EdTech startups, Bootcamps, Academic Institutions and Individual tutors.

Huddle 01 will be launching it’s BETA product soon. To get early beta access, please visit https://huddle01.com/ and subscribe.
