What We're Building
With over 14 million downloads and $11.5 MM raised, Vyng transforms a user’s caller ID into a video chosen by either the user or the incoming caller. 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 four 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 4 billion videos in 170 countries and is driving engagement in regions like South Asia and North Africa where smartphone adoption continues to grow rapidly.
