Online Meeting and Webinar Software
AnyMeeting is a cloud-based SaaS company providing online meeting and webinar software with a focus on ease-of-use, reliability and simplicity.
Online meeting tools have become key to the modern business, by driving meaningful collaboration and engagement between colleagues, business partners and customers. Webinars allow businesses to easily and affordably increase their reach for marketing, training or corporate communications.
Over the last few years, AnyMeeting has built a business that has serviced over 4 million people and almost a billion minutes spent in meetings.
AnyMeeting offers a full-featured web conferencing product designed and priced for small business, including a free ad-supported option. It provides all the features a small business needs including 6-way video conferencing, conference calling, built-in VoIP, screen sharing, presentation sharing, video sharing, recording, mobile, and social media integration.
Its software is web-based and runs inside a web browser. (That means no annoying downloads required for attendees. Attendees can join with just a single click on the meeting link.)
AnyMeeting costs less than major competitors, starting at $18/month for meetings with up to 25 attendees, and $78/month for webinars with up to 200 attendees.
After shifting its focus to a recurring revenue business model in 2014, the company has grown to over $3 million in recurring revenues by focusing primarily on the quality of its product and technology. Its growth has mostly come from non-paid sources, like meeting attendees, word-of-mouth and SEO.
Now it's aiming to increase its growth and is raising additional funding to drive two key initiatives: build out its Sales and Marketing organization and further expand and differentiate its product line.
The company has received favorable press from media and venture outlets like CNET, VentureBeat, and Business Insider.
As one of its investors said:
"I’ve had the privilege of attending many board meetings and have witnessed first hand how the AnyMeeting team operates. They are very metrics driven — focusing on meaningful goals and also providing key industry benchmarks for calibration. Since their historical growth has been primarily viral and organic, building out a sales and marketing organization should accelerate growth, with further acceleration from the new marketing product they’ve been developing."
