Blinkiin

Blinkiin is a technology company that specializes in real‑time video communication solutions aimed at businesses and educators. Founded in 2018 in San Francisco, California, the company emerged from a collaboration between former engineers at a leading video‑conferencing firm and an educational technology entrepreneur. Its flagship product, BlinkVideo, offers low‑latency video streaming with integrated annotation tools, enabling users to share live visuals and collaborate on documents in a single interface. The platform supports over 500,000 concurrent users and is compatible with major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

In addition to its core product, Blinkiin has released a suite of APIs that allow companies to embed its video capabilities into existing web and mobile applications. The APIs support automatic transcription, real‑time captioning, and customizable branding. Blinkiin’s developer portal has become a popular resource for startups looking to add instant video features without building from scratch.

The company has raised three rounds of venture funding, totaling approximately $75 million, led by prominent venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital. Blinkiin’s growth strategy has centered on partnerships with educational institutions and corporate training programs, positioning the service as a tool for remote learning and workforce development.

Blinkiin’s headquarters remain in San Francisco, with additional offices in Austin, Texas, and London, United Kingdom. The company employs over 200 staff across product development, customer success, and sales. As of 2025, Blinkiin continues to expand its feature set, focusing on advanced analytics, AI‑driven moderation tools, and increased accessibility options for users with disabilities.
