Co-founder & CEO of Open Garden Micha Benoliel demonstrated on stage to us how their new product Firechat makes people always connected. Based in San Francisco, Open Garden is best known for its network sharing apps. Benoliel said that app developers in particular will benefit from Firechat, which makes apps always connected. The app is built upon the idea of “peer-to-peer mesh networking.” Enabled by wifi and Bluetooth, Firechat listens out for other phones running the same app nearby. Firechat topped the app stores in 15 countries shortly after its launch, according to Benoliel.
