Summary

Stream has successfully raised a $15 million Series A funding round led by GGV Capital and Dick Costolo, enabling the company to enhance its chat and activity feed APIs. The company, which started with a small engineering team, has expanded to 58 employees and now serves over a billion end users across sectors like healthcare, education, and social communities. With the new funding, Stream plans to accelerate product development, including TypeScript support, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, and a revamped dashboard with real-time features. The company is also enhancing its chat product with features such as location sharing, custom slash commands, and improved push notifications, drawing inspiration from platforms like Slack and Instagram. Stream is actively hiring in Boulder, Amsterdam, and remotely, as it continues to improve its offerings and seeks feedback from users to refine its services further.
