About Fundamental
Fundamental Applications Corp. was founded in 2014 to launch innovative mobile applications targeted at millennials. Millennials are described as a demographic born between 1980 and 2000 into a digital world with significant discretionary income. Fundamental intends to launch their first application, SerumTM, in the fall of 2014. SerumTM is an innovative and unique mobile chat application which enables users to post questions and have text conversations with a group of their friends anonymously; nobody involved in the conversation is aware of who in the group is responding. SerumTM also provides control to the users over conversations they initiate, such as adding or removing participants. SerumTM goes beyond existing applications such as Whisper and Secret, which only allow for one-way conversations, by creating an interactive way of sharing. SerumTM also goes above and beyond in terms of implementing protocols for anti-bullying. Fundamental intends to launch additional apps targeting privacy, anonymity and chat once it has built a large SerumTM user base.
