About MediaGun

We Make Technology Feel Effortless

At MediaGun, we believe that technology should empower, not intimidate. That’s why every line of code, every design choice, and every update we release is driven by a simple idea — make technology friendly for real people who rely on it every day.

Our Story

Originally known as Exponent Software, our journey began in Geneva, Switzerland, in the year 2000. Our mission then — and now — was to develop smart, original tools for the professional communication market: software that makes it easier to present, share, and connect.

As our products evolved and our community grew, we relocated to Bristol, United Kingdom, where we now operate as MediaGun Ltd (Companies House 12787972).

Our Founders

CEO

Daniel Gerchman
MediaGun is what happens when a Swiss guy builds a media player. Daniel grew up where precision is practically a birthright — which might explain why the app is as fussy about detail as a watchmaker with a magnifying glass. All that intricate Swiss mechanism is - fortunately - hidden under the hood, leaving you only the seamless flow of your content — no cuckoo popping out mid-presentation! Since 1983, Daniel has been involved in more than 3000 multimedia projects of all sizes for multinationals, international organisations and NGOs as well as smaller, local companies. Passionately involved with digital media since the very early days, he developed a keen interest in the "human interface" while participating in and designing many projects in education, interactive games, musical encyclopaedia, events, congresses etc. Today, this experience is expressed in MediaGun's interface.

Senior Developer

John Messersmith
After graduating the University of Chicago with a degree in Physics, John moved to Europe where he worked at DESY in Hamburg for a year and then CERN in Geneva for 10 years. He developed a keen understanding of scientific research and advanced development while working on hundreds of projects at the highest level and among some of the brightest minds. With a passion for graphics, music and human interfaces John became a highly disciplined software engineer focused on scientific visualization and Graphical User Interfaces.

Our Philosophy: Technology Made Friendly

We know that technology, by nature, isn’t friendly. It can be complex, intimidating, and fragile when you need it most.  So, we’ve made it our mission to design tools that feel natural, stable, and empowering — where every feature is built to increase efficiency, confidence, and peace of mind.

Because in the moments that matter — when you’re on stage, in front of clients, or leading a team — you shouldn’t have to worry about what’s running behind the screen.
