There are plenty of problems that one might be facing in their daily lives. However, to make them go away, you need to implement relevant solutions to overcome these hurdles. Communication is the best tool through which these problems can be addressed, and having a community where such topics are being discussed is a big help. However, finding such groups online is tough but then not to worry, Angle Audio should help out explicitly.
Angle Audio is a company that matches users with different audio groups from around the globe on different topics. It’s an AI-based platform where seeking audio or video-based conversation on specific topics can be availed. Moreover, the algorithm does enhance the groups that could enhance your interest that could be upcoming. Sharing your thoughts, insights on the group with your peers is also feasible through the application. Speaking with Matthias Strodtkoetter, Co-Founder & CEO at Angle, Venture Mirror got the opportunity to learn more about the company. Learn more through the entire conversation illustrated in detail below.
What is the startup / product / venture about? Give us a brief description of it.
Angle Audio is the first cross-platform social audio app for iOS, Android and web.

Other distinguishing features include: 💬 Text-chat & screen-sharing ✅ End-to-end encryption 🤖 Audio-chat-bots 🔁 Recurring conversations 🎊 Live-celebrations ⏳ Time-capped conversations 👯♀️ Making friends, not follower

How did you come up with the idea? What motivated you to do this?
The story of Angle starts in Tokyo, where I was longing for a way to easily connect and talk to experienced physicists during my research in quantum information theory. After another similar experience a bit later on, I was wondering, there must be an easier way to connect the curious with the wizards, right? So I sat down with Valerius and Matthias K. and we started working on Angle in early 2020 to build a platform that connects people in audio conversations. Because we believe that the right conversation and the right time changes everything.
