The new product that I am working on, Sendhub, has been something that hasn't been trivial to explain. But now that I've been down here for a nearly two months, I think I can do a better job than before.
Sendhub is about creating a better way for professionals (and other consumers) communicate. We allow you to add a second line to your cellphone for two way voice calls and texting. The idea is to allow people to keep their work life separate from their personal life but only need to carry one device to do your communicating. For standard consumers, this means getting a second number on your cellphone in any area code (currently US only) so you can have a phone number in your home town and stay in touch without incurring nasty long distance charges.
The next main use case of the application is to allow organizations to communicate more effectively with members/users. Sendhub makes it super easy to send messages to large groups and because of the decreasing relevance of email, texting has become a key way to reach many people with urgent messages. This could be a hockey team texting parents or players when the next game is during a tournament (or where the team dinner is). Another example is school teachers texting a Math 12 group to remind the members that there is a calculus exam coming up.
The product is every evolving and improving as we hope to move into new countries in the coming year, add more collaboration, enterprise features. I'm really excited to move this thing forward.
I know this sounds like a sales pitch but this company is really excited about building a product that people love to use and ultimately to help make peoples lives easier. The company is blowing up, we're sending more and messages and adding users at a rate that is making us all really excited. The next year should be quite a ride.
