| I'm Ish, the founder of Virtually https://www.tryvirtually.com/calendar. We're the easiest way to manage Zoom events for private communities. Managing virtual events for more than a few people is a pain. Either you paste emails from spreadsheets into Google calendar or you rely on internal mailing lists, which get out of date and make calendar invites hard. If you want to do events for subgroups, or send out reminders, or track attendance, it gets worse. We make it all easy, for both one-off and recurring events. We initially built Virtually as an LMS (Learning Management System) for online bootcamps in YC's S20 batch. However, over the past year we learned that our users love us specifically for managing their events. So we split out our events manager into its own product. We've got an API that can sync with any database, for example to keep track of rosters or roles, and a Zapier integration is coming. Also, the same technology can be used to send out announcements in a targeted way. This will be a prominent feature in an upcoming release. Our customers include some top cohort-based programs like Building a Second Brain, Flockjay, and Ali Abdaal's PTYA. Building a Second Brain used us to manage 150 live sessions for 1500 students. Throughout their 5-week program, we facilitated 7900 session joins.
I would love to hear any feedback that the HN community might have for us! |
Or is it for external events? In which case, what is the importance about late attendees. No-shows is to be expected, especially for free events (And even paid events have a substantial no-show rate).
I'm confused as to who the intended customer audience is meant to be.
