About HelixCast

Built for the screen nobody's watching —
and the IT team that owns it.

HelixCast started as a fix for one broken AV room. Today it manages thousands of screens across universities, hospitals, hotels, and offices — and growing.

Our story

A broken AV room that became a platform.

In 2021, our founders were managing AV for a mid-size university. Same problems, every week: professors couldn't connect their laptops, lobby screens showed last month's events, and IT was buried in tickets for things that should just work.

Every product on the market was designed for enterprise AV teams with full-time staff. None of them thought about the professor with 90 seconds before class starts, or the front desk coordinator who shouldn't need an IT ticket to change a welcome screen.

So they built HelixCast. One platform that handles the full lifecycle of a screen: browser-based mirroring the moment someone walks in, scheduled signage the moment they walk out. No dongle, no app, no ticket. The room just knows what it's supposed to do.

The problems haven't changed. The solutions keep getting better.

How we work

What we actually believe.

Ship fast, fix faster.

We get something live and learn from real usage. When we break something, we fix it in hours — not the next sprint. A university shouldn't wait a week for a bug that blocks professors from presenting.

Screens should earn their space.

An idle display is a failure. Every feature we build starts from one question: what useful job is this screen doing right now? If the answer is 'nothing', that's on us.

IT teams aren't support tickets.

We build governance, audit logs, and zero-surprise deployments for the people who get blamed when things break and ignored when they work. They deserve better software.

Simple beats clever.

A substitute teacher should be able to present on day one. A hotel F&B manager should update the menu from their phone. We spend disproportionate time removing friction that most vendors never notice.
