Overview
Sol is a reading technology company making tools to illuminate the mind. Reading is awesome. It always has been, and always will be. But in an age where apps and algorithms are in a constant battle for our attention, we're more likely to skim over the top of captions, headlines, and comments than lose ourselves in a good book. At Sol, we're creating tools for the reader in all of us; that part yearning for something more engaging, more immersive and more, well, entertaining than a caption (or paragraph of website copy) can ever be.
