Vyng,

Vyng has built a next-generation phone platform that visualizes every call. Vyng is an LA-based company that transforms how conversations start on mobile by bringing emotion to the lockscreen. Vyng’s app lets users set videos as ringtones for friends, playing a fresh video on the lockscreen with every call. Vyng boasts 3 Billion videos played across 170 countries since its launch in 2017. The company is backed by March Capital, Omidyar Network, a Google Ventures partner, and the founders of Giphy and GroupMe.

The Vyng phone dialer replacement allows users to create their own Vyngtone or caller ID, or choose from a curated library of videos arranged by interest channels. The company has three current patents for its proprietary technology delivering video through calls and contextual texting. Mobile notifications, including incoming phone calls, have long been relegated to a generic, sterile design that lacks creativity. Believing in the untapped potential of lockscreens, Vyng facilitates the quickest, most impactful way to communicate through the delivery of a video to the lockscreen of a device. Since Vyng’s launch of Vyngtones last year, it has served over three billion videos in 170 countries and is driving engagement in regions like South Asia and North Africa where smartphone adoption continues to grow rapidly.
