Open Garden Inc

In 2020, Open Garden is launching Open, a new mobile operator to make Internet access more affordable to everyone. Disruptive technology, disruptive economics. We are also known as the creator of FireChat, the first off-the-grid messaging app. Winner of a 2015 SXSW Innovation award, FireChat uses peer-to-peer mesh networking technology to connect people and mobile devices even when no Internet connection or mobile data service is available. FireChat has been among the top 10 social networking applications in 124 countries. From Taiwan to Hong Kong, Delhi, Manila, and Kuala Lumpur, leaders, disaster relief organizations, and media companies used this messaging app to communicate and reach people on their phone when no other app could work. Open Garden has been featured on CNN, CNBC, the BBC, the Financial Times, the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, and almost any major news outlet or TV network around the world.
