Meet Watchers

Watchers offers a comprehensive community-building tools designed for content platforms. Our solutions include public and private chats, audio and video streams, engagement and copy widgets, and advanced AI moderation. These tools are perfect for any platform with active users and topics for discussion—whether it’s VOD, OTT, betting, trading, education, or any other service, website, or app. Why let your audience take the conversation to external social media when you can host it directly on your platform? Our tools can be integrated quickly, and they drive key our partners’ metrics. With our chats and widgets, clients see an impressive boost in user retention, revenue, and LTV.

The evolution of Watchers

We began three years ago with a B2C app, which allowed us to deeply understand user behaviour, needs, and patterns firsthand. This direct experience was invaluable. Then, we shifted our focus to B2B, targeting three key industries: video platforms, sports broadcasting, and iGaming. Additionally, we expanded into trading and crypto trading markets, where community-building is essential. We've also worked with HR Tech and EdTech companies.

The demand for trusted communities is growing, as people seek meaningful connections beyond what traditional social networks can offer. This creates ample opportunities for ongoing development.

Milestones and achievements

Last year, we were selected as a promising AI startup for AWS's Aim High Accelerator program. This year, we were chosen for the Google Startup Cloud Program, further validating our innovation. Additionally, we won the SIGMA Startup Pitch competitions in both São Paulo and Budapest, demonstrating that our service is recognised and valued across diverse markets. We’re constantly evolving—focusing on improving AI moderation, clients’ security, and introducing new tools to enhance user engagement. Our drive for continuous improvement never stops.

What Startups of The Year means to us

It’s always important to inform potential partners and clients about the opportunities and benefits our tools offer. We see Hackernoon as an excellent platform to introduce our solutions to a new audience and share our vision.
