In the turbulent times of 2001, Socialtext emerged the company that founded Enterprise 2.0. Our flagship product, Socialtext Workspace, was the first enterprise wiki. Today, over 5,000 organizations change faster with Socialtext. We have solid support from our top tier investors. We have attracted a Board of Directors, Board of Advisors and Leadership team composed of visionaries who have shaped entire industries and who have execution track records.
