Speeksy builds social venues on top of Facebook that let users join themed rooms with SoundCloud playlists, message, give “props,” and move into one‑on‑one video chat. The product leverages Facebook profile data to surface 1st/2nd/3rd‑degree connections and match users by shared interests, and allows filtering by location, gender and profile traits. Venues can hold up to 50 people, and webcam views appear when hovering over profile cards; any user can add to playlists and others can react. The service gamifies behavior with rewards for positive engagement and warning labels for users who get blocked. Speeksy launched into a private beta with a couple thousand invites made available to TechCrunch readers. The company positions itself as an alternative to traditional online dating and expects competition from well‑funded entrants like Airtime. Financially, Speeksy raised $60,000 in seed funding from its founders and angel investors.
