Plato's Forms is a professional messaging platform focused on solving the problem of rapid proliferation of misinformation in online media.

Why is the company called "Plato's Forms"?
Plato held that we could not comprehend the true form of things, and could only grasp the reflections of their true meaning, as if they were shadows reflected on the wall. Similarly, perhaps there is no pure truth, only forms of the truth, and we are forever seeking to make sense of them.

Speedi.ly.
