On Second Thought was started by a team of people
who’ve sent messages we desperately wished we could
have taken back. We believe all phones should be able
to do this and, like you, were shocked (but grateful) this
service did not exist.
We are here to save the world from sending bad/
inappropriate/accidental/embarrassing messages. The
OST team feels this should be a standard feature on every phone and platform (and fortunately) so does everyone with smartphone.
In 2014, we knew we were onto something when we won
1st Place in the #StartupOasis pitch competition at South by Southwest. We’ve also secured 1st Place finishes at the Women Who Tech Startup Challenge, IMA Startup Battlefield and The Innovator’s Classic sponsored by AT&T.
Our patented technology has been praised by national
and international press, and grateful users everywhere.
