This company wants to take on Slack with video messaging for enterprises
It's a rare consumer today who doesn't use a mobile video and messaging app like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, or Vine, but such capabilities are still few and far between on the enterprise side.

Samba Tech is an independent distributor of online videos in Latin America, and it's gathered $3 million in funding to support Kast's U.S. launch. It's also partnered with Microsoft and built Kast on top of Azure.
Essentially, the company hopes to outdo Slack as the enterprise messaging platform of choice, becoming the corporate world's equivalent of Snapchat. Kast aims to go beyond tools like email, text and chat and allow users to bring audio and video posts directly to select teams and channels, both at the office and on the go.
