Why Join Phonely?

We’re super cool. Our team is a group of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos, and a high belief that life is not about taking the easy road, but challenging ourselves to find the most we can be. Working at Phonely feels like family, we eat most meals together as a team (the company pays for food) we go on runs, hikes and surf together when we’re not working. Also we rent out Airbnb’s in cool places (Rocky mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia) four times a year so you can still see the world while on the grind.

From a product and direction standpoint, we are customer obsessed and focused on building a product that we ourselves would love to use. We are solving voice AI problems~~,~~ that have never been solved before with a mission to build something that 1M+ businesses love.
