SendHub is a technology company that builds a comprehensive business communication platform centered on SMS and voice services. Its product suite includes SMS and MMS marketing, two-way texting, bulk and mass texting, scheduled messaging, and voice over IP (VoIP) solutions. SendHub primarily serves small to mid-sized businesses across diverse industries such as healthcare, real estate, recruiting, restaurants, and transportation. The platform solves the problem of fragmented and inefficient business communications by enabling streamlined, scalable, and easy-to-use messaging and voice interactions that enhance customer engagement, operational efficiency, and workforce communication. SendHub has demonstrated growth momentum by expanding its feature set, integrating with popular CRM and productivity tools, and evolving from an SMS marketing tool to a full-fledged business phone and messaging service[1][2][3][4].
SendHub was co-founded by Ash Rust and Garrett Johnson, who initially developed the platform as an SMS marketing service targeting small businesses, sports leagues, faith groups, and educators. The idea emerged from their experience building products on Twilio’s communications API platform and recognizing the need for a better Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution that simplified business communications without sacrificing control or security. Early traction came quickly as weekly signups surged 50% after launch, driven by the platform’s ease of use, no-IT setup, and the addition of voice features that transformed SendHub into a true business phone service. This evolution was fueled by the founders’ desire to create a practical tool they could use themselves for business communications[4].
SendHub rides the growing trend of unified business communications and the increasing reliance on mobile messaging for customer engagement and internal operations. The timing is favorable due to the widespread adoption of mobile devices, the shift towards remote and hybrid work models, and the demand for scalable, cost-effective communication tools. Market forces such as the rise of SMS marketing, compliance requirements for business communications, and the need for integrated workflows support SendHub’s growth. By simplifying multi-channel communication and integrating with existing business tools, SendHub influences the broader ecosystem by enabling small and mid-sized businesses to compete more effectively in customer service and operational responsiveness[2][4][5].
Looking ahead, SendHub is likely to continue expanding its platform capabilities, focusing on deeper integrations, enhanced analytics, and AI-driven communication features to improve automation and personalization. Trends such as conversational AI, omnichannel messaging, and increased regulatory scrutiny around messaging compliance will shape its journey. As businesses demand more seamless and intelligent communication solutions, SendHub’s influence may grow beyond SMS and voice into broader unified communication services, further solidifying its role as a key enabler of business connectivity and customer engagement.
This trajectory ties back to SendHub’s founding mission: to provide a simple, powerful, and accessible communication platform that empowers businesses to connect effectively without technical barriers.
SendHub has raised $10.3M in total across 4 funding rounds.
