At Gist, we are building a game-changing team. That means bringing together the industry's most talented engineers, professionals and thought leaders. Today we are a group of computer scientists from pioneering and successful Internet companies. We are venture funded by Vulcan Capital, the investment arm of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and together we have big plans for the future.
