About Scrawlr

Scrawlr is a company building a software platform and series of products dedicated to enabling alternative forms of communication layered on existing internet content, together with delivering superior monetization flexibility and content ownership for content generators.

Scrawlr is developing a Canadian platform emphasizing greater user control and transparency, and supports a number of tenant businesses which integrate Scrawlr technology to offer Platform as a Service distribution.

Our team members are given a high degree of product ownership, including the latitude to propose and implement approaches that can be divergent from all standard or existing solutions.
