Netspeek

We've all been there. A critical conference call is about to start, but technology fails us. Blank screens. No audio. IT and network administrators rushing to identify and resolve the issue. As thirty minutes slip by, opportunity, productivity, and revenue are lost. With disparate software, hardware, and system integrators all operating independently, managing a Pro AV ecosystem becomes a frustrating, complex, and costly reality that drains both resources and patience.

The Pro AV industry is vast and fragmented. System integration companies offer technology from an overwhelming number of vendors, none of which are motivated to improve interoperability. If anything, the current industry players benefit from this dysfunction.

• System integrators secure lucrative managed services contracts after initial product sales
• Vendors benefit from the lack of compatibility among competitive technology

Even within a simple network, the number of technologies that need to be managed is vast. With no centralized management tools, deployment, use and maintenance of the network is costly and downtime is frequent.

NetSpeek's solution unifies the control and management of multi-vendor estates of Pro AV technologies, enabling streamlined deployment and maintenance and frictionless use while eliminating the clutter, confusion and frustration that is near universal today.

Even industry leaders acknowledge the persistent challenge. Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, a pioneering AI company, describes the ongoing dilemma:

We have a running joke at Anthropic, which is that we'll solve AGI [Artificial General Intelligence] before we solve video conferencing. I think it's going to be literally true — the AGI will come first.

Amodei's insight exposes a paradox: as artificial intelligence races forward, reliable video conferencing remains as elusive as it was a decade ago - until now.

NetSpeek, founded by Erik DeGiorgi, addresses a crucial need in the Professional AV community: a solution to the ongoing challenge of integrating the vast array of hardware and software in the $402 billion Pro AV market. Our team's expertise goes beyond mere technical knowledge – we intimately understand our customers' pain points because we've experienced them ourselves. This firsthand experience with the industry's frustrations gives us a unique advantage in developing solutions that truly resonate with the market.

NetSpeek's team brings a wealth of industry expertise: over 50 years of combined Pro AV experience, $100 million in career sales, and deep-rooted relationships with channel and vendor partners. This foundation enabled us to identify over thirty enterprise accounts, including 14 Fortune 500 companies, as our initial target market. Our potential reach is substantial – the meeting room count from our team's previous customers alone encompasses an estimated 140,000 rooms out of the industry's 15,000,000 total, representing approximately $7M in potential Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
