about boop
built by people who've worked the show floor.
Deep expertise in conference networking, software, and engineering, wired together into a tool that works when the wifi doesn't.
our story
built from real booth pain.
Boop was founded by Horacio Rilo after years of the same frustration at conferences: digital tools that promised effortless networking but failed the moment wifi went spotty or cell networks got overloaded.
After watching countless valuable connections get lost to technical failures, we built a tool that works everywhere, every time. On SMS, the most reliable communication protocol that exists.
Today, Boop powers connections at some of the world's largest business events, helping sales teams qualify leads in real-time and book meetings before the conversation ends.
