Hustle

Hustle operates as a peer-to-peer text messaging platform, enabling organizations to engage in personalized, one-to-one conversations at scale. The company primarily serves clients in the political, non-profit, and higher education sectors. Its business model is centered on providing a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that facilitates mass texting campaigns while maintaining a personal touch, which is crucial for activities like mobilizing volunteers, increasing event attendance, and fundraising.

Hustle's platform allows users to broadcast thousands of messages simultaneously and manage responses efficiently. It supports automated custom responses as well as live, one-on-one conversations, which helps in building stronger relationships between organizations and their target audiences. The company generates revenue by charging for access to its platform and the messaging services used by its clients. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, Hustle was later acquired, but continues to operate as a key tool for SMS marketing and communication.
