For more than two decades, a company born in Dhaka has quietly wired the plumbing behind millions of internet phone calls - one softswitch, one dialer, one SMS gateway at a time.
Hi Marley is a Boston-based insurtech that builds an intelligent conversational platform for property and casualty insurance, powered by SMS text messaging. It lets carriers, policyholders, agents and service providers communicate over a single, familiar text thread during claims and service moments, layering in AI features such as sentiment analysis, real-time translation, coaching insights and workflow automation. Founded in 2017 by insurance-industry veterans, the company works with 130-plus carriers, including several of the largest US insurers, aiming to make insurance communication simpler and to reduce call volume and claims cycle times.
TextUs is a Denver-based business texting platform that gives revenue and recruiting teams real, two-way SMS conversations at scale. It pairs each team with dedicated business phone numbers, a shared inbox, automated campaigns, keywords, and analytics, and plugs directly into CRMs and applicant tracking systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Bullhorn, Greenhouse and Workday. The pitch is simple: text messages get read and answered while email and voicemail get ignored, so teams that text close, hire, and retain faster.
