Stream Maker Account Projects from Around the Globe

When we released the free Stream Maker Account in March 2021, we hoped that qualifying early-stage tech entrepreneurs, students, hobbyists, and coders would use our activity feed and chat APIs to help put their ideas into action.

After nearly six months, we’re blown away by the breadth of innovative projects that are being created with the help of Stream APIs and SDKs. To date, hundreds of teams from San Francisco to Ecuador, from Bahrain to the Netherlands, are leveraging Stream to quickly add high-performing chat and activity feed functionality into their apps. (Entrepreneurs qualify for the Maker Account if they have fewer than five team members, have raised less than $100K in funding, and have less than $100K in annual revenue or $10K MRR.)

The following global startups are just a few notable examples of Maker Account projects that sparked our interest. We hope these projects inspire you to build with Stream, too. For a deeper dive into how Stream’s APIs can help get apps off the ground, check out our new series, “Starting with Stream,” which highlights individual Maker Account projects.

1. ChefMaison

ChefMaison Stream Maker Account

ChefMaison is a Netherlands-based marketplace for chefs, where clients can search for private chefs and caterers using filters ranging from cuisine, price, location, and availability.

Initially, ChefMaison powered communication between chefs and clients using an in-house built chat solution. Now, Stream’s free Maker Account Chat API is replacing that functionality for a more stable and robust chat experience.

2. One% Volunteering

OnePercent Stream Maker Account

One%’s mission is to encourage more people to give back by making it easy for volunteers to find local opportunities. The Bahrain-based platform is also building a custom enterprise solution for nonprofits to help them manage volunteers from onboarding to scheduling to following-up about additional charitable opportunities. The company hopes to create positive change by inspiring individuals to donate just one percent of their time to good causes.

3. PickEasy
