Hustle (company)

Hustle is an American company that provides a peer-to-peer text messaging platform for areas such as politics, higher education, and non-profits.

[1] Hustle was founded in December 2014, by Perry Rosenstein, Roddy Lindsay, and Tyler Brock.

This process differs from blast messaging, in that recipients can respond to agents and initiate conversation.

[8] The Clinton campaign tested the platform in 2015 and later developed Megaphone in-house, a tool with similar mass texting functionality where recipients can start one-on-one conversations.

[16] Originally a non-partisan company, Hustle supported their Democratic exclusivity with clients through their partnership with NGP VAN.

[13][24] This round, which included new and existing investors such as Salesforce and Twilio, puts the company's total funding at $11 million.
