‘Allo, welcome to the SSG space! We are a startup community on Slack that has been exponentially growing for the past two months. As a part of our cause, we’ve decided to feature one amazing startup per day (because we have tons of those, seriously). It is our pleasure to introduce Blab (my recent addiction) created by our fellow SSG’er Shaan Puri, he is also CEO of Bebo.

Blab in action!

Built on top of Slack, Blab is a new way to have interesting conversations happening around the world, it’s like an open room, where anyone can have a seat. A service for streaming like Meerkat/Periscope, but focused on dialogues, where anyone can reach the mic.

One day Shaan and Bebo’s CTO kicked out of the office half of their team. Told them to build what they were passionate about. In three weeks they came out with Blab demo, and that is how the startup was born.

With this mission and a simple strategy, Blab managed to have 900 startups that signed up on its very first week!

Thanks VioletaNedkova for reviewing, and Shaan Puri for joining this conversation.
