This is great. Been looking for a way to create a "virtual water cooler" for our team as we move 40+ people remote. Does the room always exist, and people can hop in and out? What's the business model? IE how can we pay for the service/support the mission?

We've been using https://team.video for our calls and working sessions in rooms that we hop in and out

Oh yeah. And the room never closes, right?

No, it never closes because is a URL that you can always come back. We stay in there working for hours, sometimes with multiple screen sharing at the same time.

You can do this for free with the open source Jitsi project, use https://meet.jit.si or install your own.

The room is never destroyed unless you do that manually yourself
