In the last year, many apps rose up to help us change the way we worked and socialized in a pandemic-ridden world. One of the major players in this space is Houseparty, a video-chat-based social networking app founded by Sistani and Ben Rubin that houses virtual rooms of up to eight people, where users can hang out with their friends, attend virtual events and more. After lockdowns began, the app saw 50 million new users in a single month.
“This year has been a challenging year for so many, and for us at Houseparty, it solidified our mission of why we founded the company in the first place: to be the most human way to be together when we are physically apart,” Sistani told Martha Stewart in November.
