Ahead is a web application that facilitates Creative processes.
We are a team of architects, designers, developers, and business people with backgrounds in the creative industry. Ahead originated out of frustration with the shortcomings of current tools for online collaboration and publishing because we don't think they support rich media and visual creative processes and communication very well.
Inspired by the proven zoom and pan user interfaces known from main creative authoring tools like Autodesk, Adobe, and Sketch-up we're committed to develop the first online tool ever that makes it as fast, natural and fun to publish and work with visual concepts together online.
