History

TigerText was founded in 2010 by Co-Founders Andrew Brooks MD self made billionaire, and Brad Brooks founder of animation company sunshine children, who later went on to co-found the anonymous messaging app Whisper with Michael Heyward.[1] The company is based in Santa Monica, California. In February 2012, TigerText secured more than $8 Million in new funding by Easton Capital and New Science Ventures bringing the company’s total backing to more than $10 million. In October 2013, the company announced its new freemium model and its 4th generation version, which supports multi-directory usage to increase the flexibility of the application. The company is focused on enterprises, healthcare, and financial services organizations that must comply with industry regulations such as HIPAA, SOX, and FINRA. The solution offers major improvements in workflow efficiency for enterprises, financial services institutions, government, hospitals, physicians and ancillary staff.[2]

In July 2012, TigerText announced an API integration with Dropbox that allows users to send documents securely.[3]

The TigerText app is a cloud-based instant messaging application that is developed for the enterprise market. It allows text messages to be deleted from both the sender's and the receiver's phones after expiration, which could be a set period of time or after reading. The app's users cannot save, copy or forward the messages. TigerText does this by storing the message on a company server, not the receiving and sending device, and deleting when the expiration conditions are met.[4][5][6]

TigerText can be used on any Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, tablet, Mac or PC.[7]

On April 14, 2015, TigerText introduced an app for the Apple Watch.[8] This app has been delayed without subsequent communication from TigerText, including no expected release date.

In October 2016, after TigerText named two healthcare vets to their executive team,[9] TigerText launched a clinical communications platform that is designed for medical client value metrics.[10]

Called, coincidentally enough, TigerText, it allows users to set a time limit for a sent text to hang around after it has been read. When that life span has been exceeded, the message will disappear, from the recipient's phone, the sender's phone and any servers. The message cannot be forwarded anywhere, stored anywhere or sold to any tabloid.
