People have talked for thousands of years and typed for about a hundred.
Our CEO Will Bodewes told @mvizard on @TechstrongTV why that means voice wins in the end.

One of our customers just answered their millionth call with Phonely.
So to say thank you, our team is biking ~500 miles from San Francisco to their office in LA tomorrow. 🧵
@Base10Partners@ycombinator@EtechGS@EngageCX_ From a $7/month first sale scribbled on a pizza box to a $16M Series A and a goal of answering 1B calls by 2027,
We’re just getting started.

We raised $16M to make every phone call smarter. That deserves a party.
Come celebrate with us Friday, May 8th in San Francisco.

We raised a $16M Series A to fix the biggest blind spot in business: phone calls.
$2 billion is transacted over the phone every day. And most companies have zero insight into what's happening on those calls.
Why?
There's no analytics. No optimization. No way to know what's working and what's losing you money.
So we built the optimization engine from scratch. Voice agents that sound human. A/B testing for phone calls. The most advanced voice AI analytics on the market.
One customer generated $10M in net new revenue in three months.
We've gone from hundreds of calls to millions. Outperforming the best human reps. Getting better every day.
Every business leader keeps getting asked: how will you use AI?
Now you have an answer. Start with the phone.

Excited to partner with @Base10Partners, @ycombinator, and more to build the future of voice.
This milestone round was led by @Base10Partners, with participation from @ycombinator, @EtechGS, TSA Group, @EngageCX_, and others.
Even better: 3 of our enterprise customers invested alongside their contracts.
We couldn't be more grateful. https://t.co/M7f83LcPIW
