Here’s a two minute video the team have made to describe the product:

GatherContent was started just over a year ago as a side project to solve the problem of ‘email tennis’ James was facing in his previous business Deer Digital.  Thus far GatherContent has been self funded and James says they hope to hold off seeking investment until they have grown the company with the resources available.
