Beat.Fish Raises $47 to Revolutionize Corporate Meeting Culture

Beat.Fish, the pioneering platform enabling teams to share collaborative soundboards during meetings, today announced it has raised $47 in Series A funding at a Buffalo Wild Wings near Downtown San Diego.

"We're not just building a soundboard platform," said founder Miguel Campos, who previously founded three other startups that never generated more than $50 in revenue. "We're fundamentally reimagining the future of asynchronous audio collaboration in the post-pandemic hybrid work environment. This is going to be huge."

The Problem Nobody Knew They Had

According to internal research conducted by Beat.Fish's own research team, 87% of remote workers report feeling "insufficient auditory engagement" during virtual meetings. The solution? Real-time, AI-powered soundboard sharing that allows team members to express themselves through curated audio clips.

"Traditional communication is broken," explained founder Miguel Campos, who holds a Bachelors from a qualified institution. "Why say 'I agree' when you can play an airhorn? Why type 'congratulations' when you can trigger a celebratory sound effect?"

Traction and Growth Metrics

Since launching in beta six weeks ago, Beat.Fish has achieved remarkable growth:

• 7 active users across 2 countries
• Over 10 sound effects uploaded to the platform
• 3,000% month-over-month growth in laughing sound effect usage (from 1 to 30 plays)
• Featured in a tweet that received 3 likes from bot accounts
• Net Promoter Score of -12 among the 2 users who completed the survey

The Vision: Web3, AI, and Beyond

The fresh capital will be used to hire a team of unpaid volunteers to build out the platform's ambitious roadmap.

The company also plans to explore integrations with blockchain technology to enable NFT soundboards, allowing users to truly own their audio clips on the blockchain. "Imagine a world where your fart sound effect is an immutable asset," mused Campos during our interview.

Additionally, Beat.Fish is developing proprietary AI models that can predict which sound effects users want to play before they even know it themselves. "We call it Predictive Audio Intelligence," said Campos. "It's like autocomplete, but for sounds."

What Investors Are Saying

"When I first saw the demo, I knew this was the opportunity of a lifetime," said Jennifer Morrison, a woman eating boneless wings at the next table. "The team's passion for soundboards is infectious. Their unit economics don't make sense yet, but neither did Facebook's in the early days. We're betting on the vision, not the spreadsheet."

Tim Bradford, a guy waiting for his to-go order, added: "In my 30 years of eating at Buffalo Wild Wings, I've never been more excited about collaborative audio technology. This is the future of work. The addressable market is every human with ears."

Looking Forward

Beat.Fish plans to remain in beta for the foreseeable future, focusing on "perfecting the product-market fit" before scaling to millions of users. The company has not yet finalized its pricing model but is considering a freemium approach with premium tiers starting at $49/month per user, roughly 12.5x the total funding raised.

"We're not worried about monetization right now," Campos assured investors during the funding announcement. "Growth is the only metric that matters. We'll figure out revenue later. That's what the Series B is for."

About Beat.Fish

Founded in October 2025, Beat.Fish is the leading platform for collaborative soundboard experiences. The company is headquartered in the founder's apartment in San Diego's Gaslamp District, which features exposed brick (the landlord never finished the walls), a cold brew station (a french press), and a meditation corner (the closet). Beat.Fish is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team, though current leadership consists entirely of chuds.
