Hiya analyzes more than 3.5 billion calls per month to provide contextual caller identification, block known spam and scam calls, and surface business profiles in the phone dialer. Its services reach more than 20 million users across 196 countries via partnerships with carriers and OEMs including AT&T, Samsung, T-Mobile and ZTE, and through consumer apps on Android and iPhone. Hiya launched Hiya Business Profiles (embedded as "Samsung Places" in more than 28 countries) to improve outbound call discovery between consumers and businesses. Headquartered in Seattle with more than 50 employees across four offices, the company was launched in 2016 by Alex Algard, who has relocated to London to oversee international expansion. The company says it protects tens of millions of users from robo and spam calls and is embedded in carrier dialer experiences such as AT&T Call Protect and T-Mobile Name ID. Hiya plans to use new capital to expand domestically and internationally, invest in its AI and machine learning product roadmap, grow data and engineering teams, and double headcount in the coming year.
