TigerText provides encrypted, real-time mobile messaging and a workflow Platform-as-a-Service called TigerConnect, primarily addressing healthcare communication and compliance needs. Its core product is a secure messaging app with iOS, Android and JavaScript SDKs that customers can embed. The company launched TigerText Anywhere to extend secure messaging to desktop and wearables (including an Apple Watch app) and introduced a Low Connectivity Protocol to improve delivery in poor networks. TigerText emphasizes integration with EHRs, critical alerts and real‑time shift data to optimize care-team workflows. It reports scale with over 250,000 paying users, more than 5,000 facilities, and four of the five largest for‑profit health systems as customers. Customers cite strong ROI and operational impacts, including a 56% shorter length of stay at one hospital and a greater than 65% reduction in readmission rates at an ACO. TigerText provides an encrypted, regulation‑compliant mobile messaging platform and app that enables enterprises and healthcare providers to exchange secure, ephemeral messages and files across smartphones, tablets and computers. The product includes delivery and read notifications and is positioned to meet HIPAA and other healthcare compliance needs. The company consolidated its consumer and enterprise apps into a single freemium offering with an enterprise upgrade to paid controls. After the freemium soft launch, TigerText onboarded over 10,000 businesses in eight weeks and its app has been downloaded more than three million times; roughly 3,000 healthcare facilities have deployed the platform. TigerText reports its third consecutive year of triple‑digit sales growth and says it works with 7% of Fortune 500 companies and dozens of top U.S. hospitals. Notable healthcare customers include Wellcon, Adventist Health, Hartford Healthcare, Hoag Health Network, University of Connecticut and Health Alliance. TigerText offers a private, HIPAA-compliant mobile messaging platform (TigerText Pro for Business) that enables clinicians to communicate securely across smartphones and computers. The platform works on Apple, Android, BlackBerry and also has a desktop web interface. It includes features such as self-deleting messages, message recall, and forward lock to protect protected health information. More than 20 healthcare organizations have adopted TigerText’s private mobile messaging network, and the company reports a strong sales pipeline. The company plans to accelerate development of TigerText Pro for Business with the new funding and board additions. TigerText previously closed $2.2M of seed financing in 2010 and now has total backing of more than $10M. The company is based in Santa Monica, Calif. TigerText offers a private SMS-style mobile app that allows users to send text messages and photos which are deleted from both the sender’s and recipient’s devices after a user-selected lifespan. Message lifespans range from one minute up to 30 days, and expired messages are not stored on any server and cannot be retrieved. The app also includes a “Delete on Read” option that removes a message 60 seconds after the recipient opens it. TigerText’s mobile clients are available for Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry. The company said it will soon add the ability to send video and documents over its private network and plans to release an API in the near future. The product launched in February 2010 and the company has raised outside angel capital as described in the article.
