1012: Owl Pro - Video Conferencing For The Hybrid Workforce

The Tech Talks Daily Podcast

Owl Labs is a software-led hardware company dedicated to creating a better workplace experience for today's hybrid workforce of remote and in-office employees in over 20,000 businesses. The Meeting Owl is the first intelligent all-in-one 360° video conferencing device that combines video and audio to simplify your meeting set up.

The company's products use emerging technology such as artificial intelligence to bring teams together for better work. While focused on its core hardware, the company is developing advanced software technology to reinvent the conference room ecosystem and make it smart.

The Meeting Owl product line is driven by Owl Labs' proprietary Owl Intelligence System™. While sitting in the center of the table, it uses vision and voice recognition to automatically shift the camera to focus on whoever is speaking.

This creates a fully immersive experience for those who can't be on site. Both products are compatible with all popular video conferencing platforms (i.e. Zoom, Google Meet, Skype for Business, etc.) and accessible to nearly all businesses at a sub $1,000 price point.

Frank Weishaupt is the CEO at Owl Labs, creator of the smart conferencing camera Meeting Owl. Weishaupt previously served as SVP of Sales at CarGurus and played an instrumental role in the company' company's growth, leading to a successful IPO in October 2017.

Before joining CarGurus, Weishaupt served as Chief Operating Officer at Jumptap, leading to an acquisition by Millennial Media. He also served in executive roles at Yahoo! and Criteo, which had a successful IPO in 2013.
