In this way, the company wants to motivate developers using Zoom technology, start a business and thus build an ecosystem of services around its video calling platform. Dozens of Zoom applications are currently under development, according to the site. The investment will be given to partners with “viable” products and a small market share who will be able to give users a “valuable and engaging experience”.
