We built ultra-real-time voice. Then we met the teams who need it most.

whoot. began as a purpose-built, ultra-real-time voice platform, created by a founder with twenty years in telecoms and real-time media. Then venues, event teams and control rooms showed us what it was really for: running incidents. Today whoot. is an incident and crowd management platform, and the voice engine underneath is why it is faster than everything else.

Mission

Why

Help organisations alert, guide, and account for everyone.

The best response teams do not schedule conversations. When something happens they talk instantly, alert everyone, and know who is safe. We build the platform that makes that possible: always-on, always recorded, always ready.

Values

What we stand for

Our values are not on a poster. They are in the product.

Speed is a feature
Every millisecond matters. We measure latency obsessively because real-time means real-time, not “pretty fast”.
Security by default
We do not bolt security on after the fact. Encryption, access controls and audit logging are foundational, not premium add-ons.
Radically simple
Complexity is the enemy. If your team needs a training session to use a communication tool, the tool has failed.
Transparent always
One plan, one price, no surprises. We publish our uptime, our roadmap and our thinking. Trust is earned through openness.
Built for teams
Every feature we ship is designed for the team, not the individual. Presence, rooms, permissions: teamwork-first, always.
Relentlessly improve
We ship constantly. We listen obsessively. We measure everything. Good enough never is.
Leadership

Founder

Built by a founder who has done this before.

whoot. is founded and led by Edward Worthington, who designed the voice engine at its core after twenty years building real-time communications infrastructure.

End of sheet 1Back to the top

A WhatsApp group is not an emergency plan.

When something goes wrong, most organisations reach for a WhatsApp group, a ring-round, and hope. We believe the organisations that respond fastest, and can prove how they responded, will be the ones people trust with their safety. Live voice is how they will do it.
