Overview

Gather Voices is a Chicago-based software company focused on collecting and using user-generated video for organizations, particularly events, associations, communities, and marketing programs. Its platform lets organizations request video from stakeholders using phones, tablets, and computers, while providing rights management, hosting, captioning, branding, editing, galleries, and publishing tools.

The company occupies a sales-led B2B SaaS position rather than a self-serve consumer-video market. It is notable for combining video collection with operational controls such as consent and digital-rights management, guided recording, centralized hosting, and campaign-oriented distribution. The company reports custom subscription packages rather than fixed public pricing, with plans varying by administrators, use cases, contract duration, features, and editing services.

History

Gather Voices was founded in 2017 by Michael Hoffman, who serves as co-founder and CEO, with Joel Resnik identified as co-founder and chief revenue officer. The company developed a software platform for collecting, managing, rights-clearing, hosting, and distributing user-generated video from event attendees, members, customers, and other stakeholders. Its offering has expanded from video-collection campaigns into broader video strategy, editing, galleries, integrations, and publishing workflows. No parent company or acquisition is identified in the available company information.

Reputation

Gather Voices is presented by business and event-technology sources as a specialized platform for stakeholder-generated video, especially in events, associations, communities, and marketing. Its perceived strengths include guided capture, rights management, included hosting, and workflows that reduce the operational burden of collecting many videos. The main limitations are its sales-led model, lack of a free trial, custom pricing, and relatively small reported workforce, which may make evaluation and scale comparisons harder than with self-serve competitors.
