3jam was founded three years ago by Andy Jagoe and Enlai Chu to develop new and better ways to keep people in touch with their friends. The focus was text messaging because of its tremendous growth in revenue, high rates of consumer adoption, and relatively poor user experience when compared to other messaging mediums.
