Crossing Gaps

A Digital Storytelling Firm

Prologue

We see the world in terms of stories, we love them, so much that we make a living telling them. We help creative people (that's you) tell better stories using the web.

We think good ideas want to be online, and we help them get there. We create holistic strategies that combine design and development with marketing and monetization.

When you leave us, we want you to go with your own story to tell and a platform to tell it well.

    As entrepreneurs our job is to strive towards solving Hard and Very Hard problems, while constantly making our way through trivial ones.

    Very Hard is the extreme of hard problems. You’ll often see both words capitalised for emphasis, even in the middle of a sentence. Indexing the entire World Wide Web and providing relevant search results in millisecond response times is a Very Hard problem. Breaking commercial-grade encryption within practical hardware and time limitations is a Very Hard problem. Peace in the Middle East is a Very Hard problem.
