Telerivet is a cloud communications platform that lets organizations send, automate, and orchestrate messages across SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, USSD, Viber and more - in any market, including the places bigger providers ignore. Born from a Peace Corps insight in Tanzania that most people have a phone but not the internet, it now powers enterprises, governments, NGOs and universities across 150+ countries with a drag-and-drop rules engine, APIs, and a phone-as-gateway model that reaches customers where the network is thin.

Joshua Stern is the CEO and co-founder of Telerivet, a mobile communications platform built for organizations that operate where bandwidth is thin, languages are many, and feature phones still matter. A Stanford computer science graduate who joined the Peace Corps instead of the Valley, he learned the texture of mobile networks on the island of Pemba, off Tanzania, then turned that field experience into software used by NGOs, governments, and enterprises across more than 50 countries.
