OpenPhone

Vancouver team + Simba the dog + Photobooth = coworking selfies ????

When Daryna Kulya & Mahyar Raissi started OpenPhone, they had no funding, no marketing experience, and no customers - just a product they believed in and a lot of determination. Getting our first customers involved plenty of trial and error, scrappy experiments, and even some Facebook bans ?? Daryna sat down to recount our journey to 1000 customers, covering: ? Our approach to getting first customers on FB groups and Reddit ? The exact cold email template we used (and why) ? The social listening tool allowing us to get involved in relevant online conversations ? and more… Spoiler: the journey wasn’t perfect, but it worked. Watch to see exactly how we went from 0 to 1,000 customers (and what Daryna would do differently if she was crazy enough to do that again)

Not even a month after our public API went live and one of our launch partners, Fireflies.ai, has already launched an integration with OpenPhone! ?? With Fireflies' AI voice assistant, calls made and recorded in OpenPhone now turn into instant meeting notes. Transcriptions, action items, and summaries are all handled automatically, so you can keep your focus where it matters most. This is just the beginning! We’re excited to see what else our community will build. For more info on our API and Fireflies integration, check out the links in the comments ?

Until now, bringing new team members into the right conversations could be a bit of a hassle. Customers needed an easier way to add new users without missing options or feeling limited - they wanted flexibility to assign both new and shared numbers, all in one go. Now you can easily invite new users to multiple inboxes at once! This update lets owners and admins quickly assign new users to one or multiple shared inboxes - whatever best fits your team’s needs. As Jordan Simas, our Product Manager, puts it: - Adding one new number? Easy. - Three shared inboxes? Done. - One new number?AND?three shared numbers? Absolutely. This means faster onboarding and smoother workflows for all. Start assigning inboxes to new team members seamlessly, so they hit the ground running. More on how to get started here in the comments ?

Exciting news: OpenPhone is hiring for a key role ?? The best marketing doesn't feel like marketing at all. That's why we're looking for a Director of Paid Marketing who can grow our business while keeping it refreshingly human. Most companies still use phone systems that feel like they were built when Netscape was cool. We're changing that (and our rating on G2 suggests we're doing something right). But scaling while staying human is the real challenge. That's where you come in. What makes this role different is that we're not starting from scratch—most of our growth already comes from content and word of mouth. Your challenge will be amplifying those genuine stories, not drowning them out. You'll get to experiment across channels, from podcasts to OOH, but always with one clear goal: make paid marketing feel as authentic as our product. You understand something others often forget—behind every "user acquisition metric" sits a real person trying to solve a real problem. The ideal fit? Someone who: ? Gets just as excited diving into data as building an exceptional team ? Sees opportunities where others just see playbooks to follow ? Believes that marketing can be both scalable and genuine—without sacrificing authenticity Think you might be that person? Apply below (leaving link to JD in the comments)

If there’s one thing Scott Brinker and Juraj Pal have in common, it’s their love of partnerships and ecosystems! Last week, Scott, VP Platform Ecosystem at HubSpot, joined us at our All-Hands for a fireside chat. As the name suggests, the conversation (and our internal chat) was on ?? HubSpot has a thriving ecosystem of over 1,600+ app partners, including yours truly. Scott has been instrumental in transforming HubSpot into a platform business. We’re so grateful that we get to learn from him and celebrate our milestone of launching our first public APIs.

When the conference swag is so good that only one hat makes it back to Vancouver ??

What an amazing couple of weeks. First our product launch and then our API launch event. One thing really stood out to us, and that’s just how amazing our community is. We’re blown away by all of the thoughtful questions and shoutouts ?? We’re so inspired by all the ways you’re using OpenPhone and can’t wait to see what you’ll be able to build. To everyone that joined us live or just followed along for the ride - thank you! Countdown begins for the next one ?? (Check out some of the love we received in the carousel below)
