Solaborate is a 🏷️#communications-platform company founded in 2011 by Kosovo-born siblings 📝Labinot Bytyqi and Mimoza Bytyqi, headquartered in Los Angeles with most of its engineering team based in Pristina.
The company is best known for HELLO, a voice-controlled all-in-one video device for offices and homes that combines conferencing, wireless screen-sharing, livestreaming, and security functions into a single TV-mounted unit. HELLO was originally funded through 📝Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns that raised roughly half a million dollars at well over 1,000 percent of goal, with subsequent generations carried by the company directly. In 2020 Solaborate closed a $10 million Series A from EPOS and the Demant Group as part of a go-to-market partnership for the HELLO line, positioning the platform against incumbent video-conferencing hardware vendors.
