What the company did
RTCanary was a San Jose-based analytics plugin for any video chat platform, billing itself as 'New Relic for video chat'. Founded in 2020 by David Albers and backed by Y Combinator, it helped video developers pinpoint what went wrong during calls and why, since users quickly notice drops in call quality. The team was 1-10 employees.
