This article is part of the local UponAI blog library and focuses on practical AI voice and communications workflow lessons that matter in live business environments.
Now we’re catching the attention of billion-dollar companies.
Yesterday I had a meeting with a company that did $270,000,000,000 in revenue last year. (Yes, that’s nine zeros.)
UponAI - a startup, barely out of the gate, just over 100 days in the market-got the call ☎️
How does that happen?
For me, it’s all about LinkedIn &
Real networking with peers.
Showing up, sharing the journey, and building trust one conversation at a time.
UponAI started with a simple goal:
🔹Bring AI-powered voice tech to small business
🔹Make it cost-effective, simple, and strong
🔹Offer the kind of features you’d expect from an enterprise solution (without the enterprise headaches)
Now, our tools are catching the eye of some of the biggest players out there.
Why?
Because we built for the small guys-
But we never cut corners on power or quality.
We’re talking:
✅ AI voice agents that answer and route calls smartly
✅ Multilingual support for real reach
✅ Seamless integration with your current phone system (no massive overhaul needed)
Will that giant retailer become a customer?
I don’t know yet…..
But getting invited in, having that meeting, hearing their excitement-
That’s a win I’ll never forget.
Yesterday was a good day.
We’re just getting started.
Curious how AI voice can work for you?
Reach out to me or my partner Jody..
We’d love to walk you through what’s possible.
Who knows-maybe your business will be the next big story.
