New Mobile Productivity App Eliminates the Hassle of Dialing into Conference
Calls. Funded by Foundry Group, SoftBank Capital, SoftTech VC and Google
Ventures
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) July 11, 2012 – MobileDay announces the launch of the
company and its mobile One-Touch conference calling application. MobileDay’s
mission is to enable business professionals to work smarter from anywhere
through a series of one-touch functions for iPhone and Android devices.
Business professionals are increasingly reliant on their mobile phones. The
challenge is that most common business functions, such as dialing into
conference calls, setting up appointments, and sending messages to meeting
participants are clunky experiences at best. Conference calls are a core
part of most workdays. However, dialing into conference calls when mobile,
memorizing long passcodes, and re-dialing into calls after being dropped
amount to an especially frustrating experience.
“Conference calling is a major hassle for mobile users and none of the
conferencing vendors, phone manufacturers, or application vendors have
tackled it well,” said Elliot Gold, industry veteran and Teleconferencing
Analyst at TeleSpan. “MobileDay has addressed this pain point for millions
of business users with their innovative new app.”
MobileDay features include:
One-Touch Dialing – MobileDay automatically dials into all conference
calls without the need for the mobile user to enter any codes, #, 1s, or any
other characters.
Support for any conference calling service -Whether host or guest of any
conference call, MobileDay provides access with a single tap of the Join
button.
Call Notification – MobileDay notifies the user 30 seconds before each
call with options to join, dismiss or snooze the alert with one-touch.
Communicate with Meeting Attendees – MobileDay enables users to quickly
and easily email or text their fellow meeting or conference call attendees
with standard messages like, “I’m running late.” or, “Are we still meeting?”
or even a custom message.
Calendar Integration – MobileDay integrates seamlessly with a user’s
calendar to detect any conference calls.
“As a VC, I’m simultaneously on the road and on calls every day. I deeply
understand the pain that MobileDay is trying to solve – making the
conference call experience simple,” said Brad Feld, Managing Director,
Foundry Group. “With tens of millions of conference call users worldwide,
MobileDay is attacking a large market with an innovative approach.”
“Mobile devices are changing the face of business. Unfortunately, these
devices are still largely consumer oriented and we see a massive opportunity
to enable business professionals to be highly productive with their mobile
devices,” said Jim Haid, President & CEO of MobileDay. “Mobile conferencing
is the first major pain point that we are targeting. With a simple,
one-touch app we are enabling users to save time, be safer, and eliminate
some of the hassle of their day.”
MobileDay was founded by Rajat Bhargava, Jim Haid, Brad Dupee and Priyan
Guneratne, four business executives that understood the pain first hand of
trying to do business while being mobile. MobileDay is funded by Foundry
Group, SoftBank Capital, SoftTech VC, Google Ventures, Box Group, DH Capital
and David Cohen.
MobileDay is a free mobile app available now for iPhone and Android
smartphones.
