WE BELIEVE IN TECHNOLOGY BUILT TO

WITHSTAND DISRUPTION AND ADAPT TO CHANGE.

FORKIs The Outcome Of Our Beliefs.

If you think change is the enemy, you will end up fighting it.This is a tragic miscalculation. Because if there anything certain in human history

it is that change eventually wins.

We believe media should be free to be managed on any hardware platform.

We believe media should be ingestible, editable, and distributable from anywhere and everywhere.

We believe media should be instantly adaptable to the infinite number of outlets that exist in the modern wo

We believe media should be free to meet all the changes the future will bring.

We believe the purpose of technology is to further freedom and render limits obsolete.
