Background
Founded in 2004, Zengobi, Inc. is a privately held company based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Before incorporating, in late 2002, we began work on a new type of software application. One that blends the freeform flexibility of a whiteboard, sketchbook, and notebook with the organizational capabilities found in asset management and project management applications. The user interface and feature set were prototyped and refined over a period of several months with the help of a focus group composed of creative designers.
The result is Curio — an innovative and visual application for information gathering, brainstorming, and creative exploration.
Since its release in early 2004, Curio has garnered innovation awards and fantastic reviews from all around the world. Our customers are an eclectic mix of graphic artists and Hollywood filmmakers, professors and students, knowledge workers and CEO's, engineers and scientists, and everyone in-between.
