Whereby

Gate 1 107, Maløy, Sogn og Fjordane, 6700, Norway

Overview

Whereby provides a video meeting platform with three pricing plans (including a free tier) that lets users embed tools like Google Docs, Trello and Miro directly into meetings. The company reported a 450% increase in users across 150 countries last year. Whereby emphasizes human-centric remote collaboration and aims to improve meeting experience rather than simply increasing meeting volume, per its founders. Its enterprise integrations are a strategic strength: it won a contract with AccuRx and provides a video API that is included in AccuRx’s software used by the UK’s NHS. The company changed its name from Appear.in and was demonstrated by co-founder Ingrid Ødegaard at Oslo Innovation Week in 2016. Leadership frames the business as part of the longer-term future of work where video meetings remain important but must be more effective and enjoyable.
