The key to success in business? Take risks. Just ask the owner of the Kobuk
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Or, in this case, it’s more apropos to say the donkey in the room. Deborah Bonito is married to former senator and Anchorage mayor Mark Begich. That doesn’t mean she’s not political, but she’s also a kingpin in retail owning seven businesses.

Looking to launch our first startup, we started developing our first cut at a news platform that performed NLP analyses of online news articles. It was an incredibly eye-opening project that taught us a lot about startups and technology!
Up until this time, we were paying a third-party vendor to use their NLP API for webpage and raw text analysis. Then, in an effort to save money and reduce dependencies, we decided to develop our own NLP API in-house!
In 2020, we started exploring new ways of leveraging our NLP API. We wanted to create an echo chamber of news and media products that did NLP analyses of online content. We started by creating a website that analyzed sports articles using the StumbleUpon UX!
Due to the massive code bloat of our first news product, we decided to turn the project into a learning experience and develop a newer, more focused news platform called Scroll News, that simplifies and streamlines the news consumption process. Which brings us to today! Welcome to Scroll News!
