Building Connections in a Digital World

Overview

Conversations over digital media bring incredible promise to bridge people together over physical, cultural, and even language divides. Unfortunately, people and businesses looking to connect digitally have to make a choice between the impersonal experience served by email and plain text messages over legacy SMS systems or trusting their identity and data to a handful of messenger monopolies. The result is the connections we make digitally have become increasingly transactional and superficial. We are here to change that.

We believe that digital doesn’t have to mean impersonal. That physical boundaries shouldn’t create relationship boundaries. We believe in authenticity over superficiality, and in conversations over text messages.

From connecting doctors and patients in virtual clinics, to helping fans celebrate together in digital stadiums, to enabling sellers to negotiate with buyers across the world in digital bazaars, our chat, voice, and video platform helps businesses and people realize the promise of the technologies that were meant to connect us.
