Hustle is a San Francisco-based text and mobile messaging platform built for one-to-one conversations at scale. Founded in 2014, it lets organizations reach supporters, students, members and voters through peer-to-peer texting, broadcast SMS, a voice dialer and in-message video - with humans, not autodialers, pressing send. Widely used by political campaigns, nonprofits, higher-education fundraising teams and labor unions, Hustle has powered more than a billion messages and, since April 2026, is independent and employee-owned.
Emovid is a Seattle-based B2B platform for asynchronous, multimodal business communication - video, audio, and text messages meant to replace long email threads and unnecessary meetings. Founded in 2023 by former Evite CEO Victor Cho, it layers AI summaries, transcripts, and 60+ language translation on top of each message, and pairs every video with a patent-pending Seal of Authenticity that verifies the speaker's identity and flags any AI alterations - positioning itself as 'Verified Human Communication' in an era of deepfakes and synthetic media.
