[1][2][3] Rounds was founded by Israeli entrepreneurs Dany Fishel, Ilan Leibovich and Dimitry Shestek in February 2008.

[6] Rounds also released its application that allows users to video chat, exchange pictures, surf the internet and play games via Facebook in August.

They initiate rounds either by inviting a specific person or by joining a specified room based on activity, game or topic.

The Rounds platform offers an open API which allows third party integrations, from small scaled modifications to white-label solutions.
