Waves is a video-based social messaging platform.

As a social messaging platform based exclusively on full-screen video, Waves allows for the most in-person — and personal — messaging experience; for a user to go from passive observer to center of attention; for insights and collaborations; for context, subtlety and genuine expression.

Founded by a wife-husband duo in NYC, Waves will begin beta phase in September of 2018 and launch on the App Store in the Fall.
