About Us
We believe live events should be accessible to every creator, not just those with broadcast budgets.
Our Mission
Professional live video infrastructure used to cost tens of thousands of dollars and months of engineering effort. We set out to change that \u2014 giving every creator, educator, and organizer access to the same tools major broadcasters use, at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
RTMP ingest from OBS, Streamlabs, or any encoder. Wowza-powered HLS delivery with instant playback URLs \u2014 no setup, no encoders on your server, no ops headache.
Each producer gets their own space, vanity slug URL, and fully branded event pages. Share riverbend.live/yourname with your audience \u2014 clean, professional, yours.
Live chat, Q&A mode, polls, floating emoji reactions, and viewer counts \u2014 all built in, no third-party embeds or integrations required.
The Team
Riverbend Live was born out of frustration \u2014 watching talented creators get priced out of professional streaming tools, or tangled in clunky platforms never designed for live events.
We are a small team of engineers and event producers based in the United States, obsessed with making video infrastructure feel simple. We use the platform ourselves for our own events, so every fix and every feature is motivated by real experience.
We are independent, self-funded, and focused on building something genuinely useful rather than chasing metrics. If you have feedback, we actually read it.
