It was great to converse (asynchronously) with Victor Cho, CEO of Emovid, in a free-ranging talk using his company’s innovative asynchronous video communication platform.
If this platform which I use myself is of interest to you, Victor and team have given me referral bonuses, so LMK.
I last spoke with Victor back in late 2020, when he was CEO of Evite, a platform for bringing people together in meaningful face-to-face communications. His latest company aims to enhance business communication by allowing users to share videos, screen shares, and other multimodal content. As the company website states, “Emovid turns the chaos of traditional communication into clarity. No more messy email chains, missed messages, or endless meetings.”
Victor emphasizes the platform’s potential to improve communication efficiency, build deeper connections, and enhance user skills in impromptu communication.
Our asynchronous conversation also touches on the virality potential of Emovid and its focus on business rather than consumer communications.
Discussion points include:
- The tactical benefits of video messages, such as higher open rates and personal engagement.
- The importance of vocal tone, expressions, and the historic context of interactions in building deep connections.
- The importance of multimodal communication in business and the potential for video messaging to become a core business tool.
- The potential of Emovid to build deep connections and replicate the bond creation of face-to-face interactions.
- Victor’s disillusionment with the “tech bro” culture in Silicon Valley.
- The importance of clear, quick, and succinct communication.
- How using Emovid can make one a better speaker, enhancing overall communication skills.
