Rent a Cyber Friend to Showcase Revolutionary Video Chat Platform at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025

Rent a Cyber Friend to Showcase Platform at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 San Francisco, CA - Rent a Cyber Friend, a video chat platform that allows users to pay per minute for casual conversations with strangers, will be presenting at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025. The startup's rapid growth has reached 3 million registered users without the need for venture capital or marketing expenses. Francesco Vitali, co-founder of Rent a Cyber Friend, admitted he was initially skeptical of Chris Siametis' idea when it was first pitched to him. "Who's going to pay somebody to speak with somebody?" Vitali told TechCrunch in an interview. However, after working with Siametis for over two decades and witnessing the platform's success, Vitali began to understand the concept. Rent a Cyber Friend has managed to grow without social media presence due to its limited staff resources. The company will be participating in Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, where it will demonstrate its platform to a wider audience. The startup's growth and popularity have led Vitali to realize that there is a significant market for human connection. "As I started using the product myself, I began to see that people are craving interaction," Vitali said. "They want to talk to someone, but they don't know how or where to start." Background on Rent a Cyber Friend reveals that it was founded by Siametis and Vitali, who previously worked together at 48FILM, an international short film festival. The platform's concept is centered around providing users with a safe space for casual conversations with strangers. Industry experts have taken notice of the startup's innovative approach to human connection in the digital age. "Rent a Cyber Friend is addressing a gap in the market," said Sarah Jones, a tech analyst at Gartner Research. "As people spend more time online, they're looking for ways to connect with others beyond social media." The success of Rent a Cyber Friend has sparked interest among investors and industry professionals. The startup's participation in Startup Battlefield at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 will provide it with an opportunity to showcase its platform and attract potential partners. As the tech industry continues to evolve, platforms like Rent a Cyber Friend are redefining what it means to connect with others online. With its innovative approach and rapid growth, Rent a Cyber Friend is poised to make a significant impact in the world of digital human interaction. *Reporting by Techcrunch.*
