Simple Business SMS for SMBs and enterprises
We built SendHub to make business communication fast and effective via SMS. Our product is an online platform that lets companies - from small businesses to large enterprises - manage SMS messaging with their on-the-go workforce and customers. It integrates into their workflow so they can send, receive, and organize text messages easily without juggling phones or complicated software.
We live in Pleasanton, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Pleasanton is our home and where we've built initial traction, plus it's close to major tech hubs like San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Staying here keeps us connected to early users and investors while being convenient for us personally.
