R+T Park Spotlight: TextNow

TextNow believes in a simple idea: communication belongs to everyone. Which is why they work hard to help people stay connected for free. Their purpose is to help people by creating new ways for them to connect using technology, that is free or as close to free as possible.

Textnow started out at the Accelerator Centre here in R+T Park and this has been their home ever since. COO Lindsay Gibson talks about why the company loves R+T Park and why they chose evolv1, Canada’s first zero-carbon building, as the company’s global head quarters.
