Say Hi allows you to send what you type while you’re typing! With faster replies and hilarious messages guaranteed, they’re showing you both sides of the story. They’re moving forward from static and synchronous messaging. You’ve never seen messaging like this. It’s fast and flirty and there’s nothing else like it on the market. It’s a brand-new communication medium that’s about a mile closer to real-life conversations! The idea was successful from the day it emerged. It was born during a brainstorming session for the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon that Andriy, Eleanor and Matthieu won out of a field of 750+ developers. The concept of real-time messaging stuck on their minds and they decided to push it further to become the fully-fledged product that it is now! They founded the company on 30th July 2015.

The company CTO Andriy & Matthieu previously worked together on another app which successfully placed as top 10 out of over 400 competing apps in The Big App Fund competition, a contest organized by Worth Capital and Facebook. Their CPO Eleanor & Matthieu worked together on a project called The Ultrascope, led by the Open Space Agency, which was shown to President Obama at The White House. Andriy graduated from one of the top 10 universities in the world, together with his 4 years of professional experience in back-end development, give him an extensive programming background. Arnaud their Chief Marketing Officer, helped grow a food delivery app from 0 to 250K Monthly Active Users in 4 months. He is also a professor in Digital, Social & Mobile Marketing at the prestigious CELSA Paris-Sorbonne university.

This team has the potential to build a 1-billion dollar company. Their concept is strong and their app is both in demand and well loved by our users. They have the ability to execute, to gather top-tier talent and build valuable partnerships. The sky is the limit. In a couple years from now, they see their selves at the head of a 40+ people company, with a user base of 100 million people, with their product having been integrated successfully within large enterprise chat providers and been deployed across all desktop and mobile platforms. This is what they’re aiming for, one step at a time.
