Digital Samba and DealMatrix partnered to live stream “the biggest worldwide online pitching competition” – Global Pitch – via the newly launched Samba Live platform.
On 22 May 2018, startups from across the globe pitched their companies to a jury of more than 50 business leaders and investors, competing for five category prizes.
Winners and prizes
Event and category winners were awarded generous prizes, including:
- Access to some of the most prestigious conferences for startups
- Partnerships to expand their reach in Europe
- A week-long Silicon Valley startup immersion experience
- Mentorship from 50K Ventures
Introducing Samba Live
At that time, Samba Live was the brand-new product of Digital Samba, built on 16 years of video conferencing expertise. The platform enabled investors and entrepreneurs to connect virtually with lag-free, high-quality video conferencing at the click of a button.
Key features that contributed to the success of this “first-of-its-kind” event included:
- 100% WebRTC/HTML5 video – with no downloads required
- Full HD video for every concurrent user
- Global live stream broadcast on Facebook
- Interactive tools such as whiteboards and screen sharing make pitching seamless
Production and impact
The event was produced and streamed live on Facebook by BSEEN Live using Samba Live’s broadcast integration. This partnership showcased Samba Live’s cutting-edge WebRTC/HTML5 video streaming capabilities and represented Digital Samba’s first major milestone with the product.
