What does YouMail do?

We provide visual voicemail on any internet connected device – mobile phones, iPads, computers – that unifies your mobile, home, and work messages.

How are they different?

We’re focused on:
1) A great experience for callers – including greeting callers by name or personal greetings
2) A leverage of community – users post greetings, users provide caller id info, users tell us who the spammers are
3) One-click upgrade from existing voicemail – effortlessly get a better experience.
4) Making voicemail easy to share – one click posting to Facebook, for example, as well as easy IMing and texting.

Why could YouMail be BIG?

1b+ mobile voicemail boxes are out there, and it’s a horrific experience. We replace that with a dramatically better experience at no cost to consumers. We already have well over 1m users, and have handle roughly 500,000,000 calls. We also have 6 carriers that have made YouMail their voicemail, with 2 more signed and on the way.

How they plan to make money:

We make money on free users through advertising, and we have a number of premium offerings we’ve been able to upgrade people to.

Our thoughts:

No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
