TigerConnect, Inc (previously known as TigerText) is a U.S.-based software communications firm located in Los Angeles, primarily recognized for its instant messaging platform.
History
Established in 2010 by billionaire Andrew Brooks, CEO Brad Brooks, and Jeffrey Evans—who also co-founded the anonymous messaging service Whisper—TigerConnect specializes in communication tools for enterprises. The company raised upwards of $8 million in 2012 from investors including Easton Capital and New Science Ventures, accumulating total funding exceeding $10 million.
In October 2013, the company introduced a freemium pricing model alongside its fourth-generation application, which featured multi-directory capabilities aimed at sectors with strict regulations such as healthcare, finance, and government. This solution improves operational workflows while maintaining adherence to standards like HIPAA, SOX, and FINRA.
Among its strategic collaborations is a 2012 API integration with Dropbox, facilitating secure document exchange with controlled expiration. The rebranding from TigerText to TigerConnect occurred in March 2018 to better represent its broadened focus on clinical communication services.
TigerConnect has expanded its healthcare technology portfolio through acquisitions, including the physician scheduling platform Call Scheduler and middleware provider Critical Alert.
In May 2025, Sean O'Neal was named CEO, taking over from Brad Brooks and ushering in a new era of leadership strategy.
App
The TigerConnect application is a cloud-based communication and collaboration solution designed for clinical environments within enterprises, enabling secure, HIPAA-compliant transmission of patient data. Messages are stored temporarily on company servers without the ability to be saved, copied, or forwarded and are deleted after expiration.
Supported platforms include Android devices, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, tablets, Mac computers, and PCs. In April 2015, the company announced development of an Apple Watch app that was eventually released in 2017.
October 2016 saw TigerConnect strengthen its executive team with healthcare industry experts and launch a clinical communications platform centered on delivering measurable value to medical clients.
