TriplePlay, founded by Mark Hlady and Yuri Takhteyev, develops a platform aimed at making remote social events more fun and interactive, allowing attendees to play games, move between conversations, and socialize virtually. The team had the idea before the pandemic and says the shift to virtual work served as a catalyst for product-market fit. TriplePlay positions its product as improving on in-person social events for distributed teams and expects demand to grow as the world digitizes. Financially, the company raised $1.0 million in spring from Goodwater Capital, N49P, Box One and angel Charlie Songhurst to fund initial operations and salaries. As part of Entrepreneur First Toronto’s initial cohort, EF Toronto also invested $100,000 for a 10 percent stake in each cohort company. The company is focused on using its seed capital to scale product development and meet increasing demand for virtual event solutions.
