Welcome builds a white‑label virtual events platform that enables companies to produce high‑production, Apple keynote–style online and hybrid events. The platform functions as a virtual venue with breakout rooms, a “green room” for speakers, support for mixing live and prerecorded video, and graphical overlays. Current features include customizable branding, backdrops and logos, and the company plans to add dynamic overlays next year and custom domains for hosting on customers' properties. Welcome positions itself as an HD video broadcast studio with white‑glove support and training, and it targets enterprise customers via annual contracts rather than per‑event or per‑attendee pricing to drive frequency. The company emerged from stealth after seven months of development and three months of beta testing, having pivoted in March from an earlier restaurant‑software focus. Its CEO and cofounder is Roberto Ortiz, and the startup has secured $12 million in funding from investors that include Kleiner Perkins, Y Combinator, Kapor Capital, and WIN.
