What Beeper does
We're building the best chat app on earth. Beeper connects to 15+ different chat networks. Unified search, advanced filtering and more. Available on Desktop, Android, iPhone and iPad. The idea is simple: messaging today is painfully fragmented. We're going to fix that. Every time we communicate there is friction lurking under the surface. E.g. Which app did I message her on? Where's that photo gone? Why can't I join an iMessage group from my Android? Our mission is to eliminate that friction and boost the efficiency of the entire human race.

One chat app to rule them all
We're building a chat app that connects to over 15 different messaging networks all in one place. It solves the problem of fragmented communication by offering unified search, advanced filtering, and support across desktop and mobile platforms. Users can finally access iMessage from Android, find lost photos, and avoid switching apps constantly.
We're based in Palo Alto, California, with a remote team distributed across various locations. After YC, the company will remain based in Palo Alto with remote work continuing.
We're in Palo Alto because it's close to the tech ecosystem and YC itself; our team is remote to access diverse talent but keeps the core in the Valley to stay connected.
