BombBomb for Education FAQs

At BombBomb, we believe in you. You matter. Who you are matters. We know that you win through relationships and that you’re better in person than you are in plain, typed-out text. When you’re face to face, you communicate more clearly and connect with people more effectively.

Because you’re here on this page, you’re likely a teacher, administrator, professor, counselor, or an educator. And because you’re here right now, you’re probably experiencing or anticipating a significant disruption in the way you connect and communicate with your peers, students, parents, and other people critical to the education process.

So we’re here to help. BombBomb is a team of 150 people based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We have 50,000 customers around the world using our software to easily record and send video messages in place of plain, typed-out text. This helps them be there in person when they can’t be there in person.

And we’d like you to join them. Absolutely free. No strings attached. Because we believe in your work. Because we know you’re better face to face. And because we know we can help.
