WiVu (pronounced "We View") is a marketplace reinventing out of home social entertainment with an Airbnb-style booking app for private viewing parties. Users host their own watch parties in private rooms - located within hotels, restaurants/bars and movie theaters - with professional grade AV, comfortable seating, food and drinks and (best of all) no need to clean up.
The options for viewing content outside of the home have not kept pace with consumer demand and expectations. Movie theaters don't provide a compelling experience in terms of choice (limited options and times) or social viewing (sitting side-by-side in the dark with behavior restrictions) and bars can be crowded and difficult to find/hear what you're looking for. Additionally, there are thousands of locations across the country (bars, hotels, restaurants, movie theaters, FECs) that have massively underutilized capacity in addition to food & beverage service. WiVu makes the process for bringing these two groups together as simple as Uber or Airbnb.
1. During the pandemic, we opened a beta location in partnership with the JW Marriott at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. Use cases varied from birthday parties to social gatherings to business events with a wide variety of content (from YouTube to Netflix to live sports) On average, each booking had 7 people with over $100 per person in total spend.
2. We also have an agreement with our first multi-location partner, LOOK Cinemas, with commitment to open WiVu private screening rooms at all 11 of their locations, starting in Q4 2023.
