About Tetrapod Software
Tetrapod Software, which now operates as Prompt.io, was established in early 2014 and later developed the advanced service known as Chatbox. The venture was founded by Phil Gordon, a notable professional poker player and long-time entrepreneur, who brought his extensive experience to the tech world. Gordon, who serves as President and Chief Product Officer, is joined by a team that includes engineering co-founders Aaron Davidson, Scott Fortin, and Jason Spencer, all of whom were part of the engineering team at Full Tilt Poker. The company's journey began with a focus on facilitating chat from email, eventually evolving into a comprehensive enterprise messaging platform.
