Happaning develops "ViiVid" technology to synchronize and present multiple user-shot video streams of the same place and time, enabling viewers to swipe between perspectives. Its initial product is a free mobile app focused on livestreamed events such as concerts, sports, weddings, and protests. The company has patented concepts for synchronizing multiple video streams and the swipe-based user experience in the U.K. and has filed with WIPO. Happaning positions the multi-perspective approach as a potential tool to help counter misinformation and deepfakes by providing corroborating viewpoints. The debut release is an MVP and technology demo; the UI/UX is not fully developed and most of the team are not yet full-time. Financially, it has raised £219,500 in pre-seed funding at a £3.0M pre-money valuation and is targeting a £500,000 seed round at a £4.5M pre-money, with longer-term plans for subscription tiers if it gains traction.
