About Us:

Storyteller is a new B2B SaaS platform, which allows companies to integrate Stories into their owned and operated platforms.

For customers, building their own story experience can take years and a lot of investment however Storyteller has solved this by allowing companies to integrate in days, not years all for one monthly cost. Our end‑to‑end platform gives companies a best‑in‑class Stories experience in days with native iOS, Android, and Web SDKs, publishing tools, analytics, and ad support.
