About Mobile Day

MobileDay, founded in 2010 by Brad Dupee and Jim Schuchart, developed a one-touch conference call dialing application aimed at simplifying how business professionals join meetings from their mobile devices. Dupee brought extensive experience from the telecommunications and unified communications sectors, having founded and held leadership roles at companies like PGi and West Unified Communications Services. This background in enterprise sales and business development was integral to shaping MobileDay's strategy.

The company's core product was a mobile application that synchronized with a user's smartphone calendar. When a meeting was scheduled, the app would present a simple button to automatically dial into the conference call, entering any necessary phone numbers, PINs, or access codes without manual input. This addressed the common frustration and time loss associated with joining calls while on the go. The service was designed to work with existing conference call providers and was available for both Android and Apple devices.

MobileDay operated on a business-to-business model, initially targeting individual professionals and later expanding to serve enterprise teams. The introduction of "MobileDay Business" provided companies with a centralized dashboard and data analytics tool to monitor mobile call performance across employee-owned or corporate devices. This offering also included features to route calls over the most cost-effective networks, such as VoIP when available, to generate savings for the business. The company raised a total of $10.9 million in funding from notable investors including Foundry Group, SoftBank, and Google Ventures. Despite its efforts in the unified communications market, MobileDay officially shut down its operations in 2021.
