Founder story
Daily was founded in 2016 in San Francisco by Kwindla Hultman Kramer and Nina Kuruvilla. Recognizing that building WebRTC infrastructure and real-time video was complex and resource-intensive, the founders created a developer-first platform. Daily evolved from standard video call APIs into a comprehensive platform for real-time video, audio, and conversational voice AI agents.
