Killing creator piracy | CEO @ Kahana

Imagine how much better your life would be if you didn't have to waste it:
- Squinting to find tabs
- Sending zip files back and forth and opening files & links one by one
- Spending more time looking for pieces of information than... actually doing work.

It's 2024: why is the experience of working with and consuming information so archaic and messy?

That's why we built Kahana: an elegant platform that transforms the way we curate, share, and consume information. 

Less hunched over your computer and pulling your hair out trying to find that window, more Tony Stark working with Jarvis. 

Our patented "hub" technology is a unique delivery mechanism that enables you to curate ALL the different materials you're working with on any given project or topic - docs, sheets, links, PDFs, videos, your choice - all in a single tab. 

And our collaborative features make it easy for groups of people to work together within hubs, all sharing the same exact view of all relevant materials.
