I'm working on a startup that provides live remote video assistant as a service and we piggy backs off of existing technology platforms (FaceTime, Hangouts, Skype) rather than building the tech ourselves for the meantime.

Do you prefer that companies have their own technology or is it okay that a company utilizes existing platforms in the beginning?

My team consist of CS and ME/EE.

It's PokeBin.com if you wanted more information.

It's usually a good idea to leverage other platforms, at least as the start, as long as you're not entirely dependent on one.
