Gun.io was born from the Open Source community as a way to connect open source developers with amazing gigs. We spent years building a community of the best technical talent in the States - now several thousand strong.

Those are the problems we think are worth solving - and around which we’ve built our business.

Jammber
July 2016
Jammber enriches the lives of people in the entertainment industry, all over the world, by giving them technologies that empower and enhance the creative process.
The global music industry generates $60 billion dollars annually, yet between 30% and 50% of all monies never reach the parties they are owed to, largely due to outdated inefficiencies: a highly paper-driven process; disconnected silos, and; poor communication. As an example, it can take a guitar player eight months to two years to get paid for a single recording session worth a few hundred dollars.
Our clients can schedule all creative works and projects using Jammber’s web and mobile tools. Jammber automatically generates all required paperwork electronically including union forms, tax forms, etc. and allows e-Signing. Contributors can then be paid directly through the Jammber platform. With Jammber in place, a guitar player can now be paid in two weeks as opposed to two years.
Cabsolutely
May 2016
Right now taxi companies are losing 40% of their market share just in the first 3 months of ride sharing showing up in their city. After thorough research we have found the reason why they cannot compete with these new platforms: their technology is stuck in the past century, some still use radio based dispatch, others use some digital dispatch platforms and enterprise software, but they were developed with older technologies. If there is any mobile app representation, it is usually a white-labeled or individually developed app, not well branded, often not well functioning, so passengers don't trust it, don't use it.
Cabsolutely changes the game by getting rid of old enterprise software and replacing it with a cloud-based dispatch system as a service. We provide tablet apps that allow Drivers to stay in touch with the dispatch office and accept ride requests. And once taxi companies and Drivers are on-boarded, we release our unified Passenger mobile app so they can finally compete with ride-sharing.

Remix Hits
April 2016
The sound sampling culture is revolutionizing the way music is produced and consumed. Millions of "DJ's" and music producers have been building immense personal brands around creating remixes and derivative versions of major-label artist works. The issue is: no company currently provides licensed, isolated instrumental tracks that music producers need to create their new works, driving them to steal hit tracks from the internet. In fact, an estimated $1.4 billion is lost by the music industry every year since there is no current solution to monetize isolated instrumental tracks.
Remix Hits is introducing the (Hits)trument: the virtual instrument that turns hit songs into software. (Hits)trument streamlines and - best of all - monetizes the remix sampling culture by selling isolated stems and samples from hit songs to remixers and then provides an intelligent licensing system to pay royalties to the rights holders and content creators.
