Reference excerpt

Hopin was a technology company of British origin. It developed a proprietary video teleconferencing online event-hosting platform. It was a fully-remote company without an office address.

History Hopin was founded in 2020 by Johnny Boufarhat. Its platform allowed meeting participants for conference attending and networking online, exchange virtual business cards, and get a summary of their connections after an event. It become increasingly popular in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hopin raised over $1 billion in funding from various investors, including Accel, IVP, Coatue Management, Northzone, Salesforce Ventures, and others. Its peak valuation was $7.8 billion in August 2021. The company made several rounds of layoffs in 2022 as demand for online events shrank and in-person events resumed. In August 2023, following a share buyback for shareholders of over $500M+, the company sold its events unit assets—including its technology, customers and engineering and product teams—to RingCentral for $15–50 million. Boufarat stepped down as CEO. The company continued to operate its live-streaming and video hosting products Streamyard and Streamable. The company's valuation was approximately $400 million. In February 2024, Hopin moved its headquarters to the United States and closed its UK Corporate entity. Hopin was acquired by Bending Spoons in April 2024.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hopin (company)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hopin (company) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hopin (company) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hopin (company) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hopin (company)

In research: Hopin (company) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hopin (company) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hopin (company) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2024 mergers and acquisitions, British companies established in 2020, Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on science and technology, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hopin (company) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
