History.
Captionmax is a privately owned business. The company was founded in 1992 by Max Duckler. In the last 25 years, Captionmax has expanded from a small, one person shop to a company of over 100 employees and independent contractors working on a variety of accessible media services. Today, Captionmax owns buildings in both Minneapolis, MN and Glendale, CA. 
Partnerships.
In 2006 Captionmax entered the educational multimedia market. 
Captionmax authors hundreds of hours of accessible interactive educational materials used in K-12 classrooms across the country. This media contains enhancements, such as video description and captioned glossary terms, to help children on comprehension tests.
For the past 15 years, Captionmax has hosted a Consumer Advisory Board Meeting attended by Captionmax staff, business professionals in the accessibility world, teachers, and students. 
Captionmax also partners with DCMP to provide closed captions, subtitles, and video description to their library.
Research and development.
In 2006, Captionmax was awarded 2 5-year Access to Emerging Technologies grants from the U.S. Department of Education. These grants enabled Captionmax to participate in research and development with other organizations, such as DCMP and Cued Speech Discovery and Information Services. 
In 2008, Captionmax collaborated with the National Center for Supported eText (NCSeT) in an initiative called The Supportive Video Project. The goal of this collaboration was to research enhanced video description options for educational learning.
