#1971 How the founder of Quack and YouMail is making voicemail sexy again

Startup Stories - Mixergy - A podcast by Andrew Warner - Fridays

Joining me is an entrepreneur who back in the very first internet boom said, “You know what? It doesn’t have to just be about computers.” What if we could take all this knowledge that’s being generated by the internet and make it available to people by phone?” I feel like he was one of the reasons people were excited about the future of technology back then. Alex Quilici is the founder of Quack, a voice portal company founded in July 1999 that was sold to AOL in August 2000. He’s also the founder of YouMail, visual voicemail and Robocall blocking software.
