Volley was founded by Max Child and James Wilsterman in 2016. We're a 60+ person hybrid remote/in-person company, headquartered in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. While we work to make home entertainment more accessible and engaging, we like to have fun along the way, with team lunches, Friday happy hours, and very active #food and #pets slack channels.

In 2010 we started out by reinventing and modernizing the jukebox - for the first time ever enabling consumers to easily request their favorite songs right from their phone. After diving into the world of bars and entertainment, we saw that brick-and-mortar businesses across all industries struggled with outdated digital media products, fragmented systems, and tools that didn’t work together. Leveraging the foundations and technology already in place, we broadened our mission and started building a unified, multi-product platform – to help businesses large and small deliver better experiences and create stronger customer relationships. Today, Rockbot delivers Music, Audio-Messaging, Digital Signage, and Streaming TV to some of the world’s largest brands and thousands of small businesses across the US, allowing them to easily manage it all from one place. Across the platform, we’ve added Advertising and Retail Media solutions so businesses have more ways to generate revenue and monetize their environments. Rockbot continues to innovate and expand its services for our partners, from Walmart to Planet Fitness, Neiman Marcus to Shake Shack, and to many of your local “down-the-street favorites” - there’s no customer that is too large or small for us. We are here to help you succeed.
