Led by a real-time communication pioneer

Founded by Joe Wee, who has been building real-time communication platforms for three decades, combining deep infrastructure expertise with modern WebSocket technology.

Joe Wee

Three decades of infrastructure innovation

Founder Joe Wee has been building technology platforms since leaving Warwick University in 1996. From deploying the UK's first cable modem systems with ntl in 1997 to launching pioneering SaaS services in 1999 (long before "Cloud" entered common usage), Joe has consistently stayed ahead of the technology curve. He founded Chillingo in 2002 which became the world's leading mobile indie game publisher for games like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope and Contre Jour. Chillingo was acquired by Electronic Arts in 2010.

His innovation journey spans real-time messaging systems, video communication platforms, collaborative tools, and distributed infrastructure. This deep, practical experience across multiple technology waves gives OddSockets unique insights into what developers need—and what legacy platforms fail to deliver.

OddSockets was founded to address a persistent problem Joe observed throughout his career: legacy real-time messaging platforms consistently overcharging developers while delivering subpar performance. By combining modern WebSocket technology with three decades of cloud infrastructure expertise, we're disrupting this broken model.

Based in Manchester with a distributed team of infrastructure specialists and real-time communication experts, we're building the future of real-time messaging platforms—where superior performance meets developer-friendly pricing.
