Mission & vision
Thundr Chat was born from a simple idea: anonymous video chat should feel exciting, not risky. Our platform pairs strangers in less than three seconds through intent-based matching and real-time sentiment cues. We empower people to explore new cultures, practice languages, share music, or just decompress after a long day—without forcing sign-ups or sacrificing privacy.
We invest heavily in ethical technologies, balancing machine learning insights with human oversight. Every moderation decision considers the impact on community wellbeing. From rolling out region-specific filters to partnering with psychologists on conversation prompts, we obsess over details that make random chat feel welcoming and worthwhile.
What drives us
Authentic curiosity, respectful dialogue, and tools that help every user stay in control of their experience.
Privacy First
We engineer every feature with privacy in mind, from ephemeral identities to secure media relays that never store conversations.
Inclusive Connections
Our matching algorithms open doors for every culture, language, and identity so meaningful chats can spark anywhere.
Safety Above All
Human-led moderation teams partner with AI detectors to remove harmful content before it reaches the community.
Responsible Innovation
New ideas are stress-tested with digital wellbeing experts to keep the thrill of random chat aligned with user trust.
