Numeracle Raises $28 Million to Stop Your Bank’s Calls Showing Up As Spam Likely
Every now and again you get that “Spam Likely” notification on a call, and you ignore it. On a few occasions, it could be your bank or your doctor trying The post Numeracle Raises $28 Million to Stop Your Bank’s Calls Showing Up As Spam Likely appeared first on Ventureburn .
Numeracle, a McLean, Virginia company, has secured $28 million in funding to prevent important calls from being flagged as spam. This Series B growth investment round was led by Edison Partners, bringing the company's total funding to $34.8 million since its inception in 2018. The need for such a service is growing as spam filters become stricter and AI makes fraud more difficult to detect.
Founder Rebekah Johnson, an engineer with experience in regulatory compliance, predicted the issue years ago and warned carriers of the consequences of aggressive call blocking. After losing her job and moving to Alabama, she used her savings to develop Numeracle, which uses verified business identities to link phone numbers and reduce false spam labels.
This simple yet effective model has already resulted in a significant increase in answered calls for one contact centre operator. With around 4,000 brands serviced, including financial services, retail, and healthcare, Numeracle plans to expand into Europe and target messaging, chat apps, marketplaces, and AI agents to further combat spam.
