The Mingleverse Mingle Room service is a next-generation, real-time, voice, video and multimedia communication platform that allows anyone, anywhere to engage with others over the internet in a highly realistic and immersive way.

 

Mingleverse offers 3D meeting rooms that resemble real life meetings within the browser window. Visual telecommunications, a 3D audio experience, as well as capabilities to stream recorded/live video and display presentations provide a virtual meeting experience unlike any other.

 

Since public beta launch in September 2009, Mingleverse has hosted over 30,000 Mingles and Minglers have saved over 20,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions by meeting online.

Business model

Mingle Room hosts can upgrade to MinglePro for only $49/year.  Upgraded Mingle Rooms have a larger capacity, access to business features such as desktop broadcasting, and also have privacy options.

Hosts have the ability to charge for their Mingle through our full MingleVite and MingleTicket service which guarantees the host gets paid for hosting a live mingle. Mingleverse adds 10% service fee on the ticket price but rebates the Mingle Room fee.

 

Competitive advantage

Mingleverse is the 1st to provide this type of synchronous communications service directly to consumers with a freemium model.

Mingleverse has over 25 patents in the pipline.

Mingleverse has already attracted some major opprtunities like the National Hockey League that cannot be serviced by Telcos or 3D based Virtual worlds.
