PRESS RELEASE SINGAPORE, April 24, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — switchedOn, a Singapore and US-based team communications startup has raised $300K from 14 angel investors, includingChristian Bernasconi who runs B&I Capital, and Timothy Thompson of Vicour Holdings. The one-year-old company launched their website switchedOn.com in March 2015, is launching beta-testing in May 2015, and is currently accepting testers. switchedOn is a secure team messaging app, but unlike other work chat, teams can link to their existing email providers like Gmail or Microsoft Exchange. Email gets an upgrade with annotated tasks which are integrated into the traditional email readers. Users can direct tasks to specific @colleagues through team messages, while the real-time task manager gives updates on progress and completion within team onBoards – a centralized layer of cloud data from email, chat, tasks, docs, and events. No task goes ignored. switchedOn aims to help users reach inbox zero while improving team communication at the same time. The company’s founder, Jason Collins, hatched the idea over a year ago while tagging his own overcrowded inbox at a software company in San Francisco. switchedOn is Jason’s fifth startup. The American entrepreneur was an early engineer at Wily Technology, enterprise software pioneer in the IT Application Performance Management (APM) space, which was acquired by CA Technologies for $400M. Jason now has a small team of developers inBudapest and Singapore. Look out for the switchedOn booth at InnovFest unBound 2015 to meet the team!
