“Phound is a little play on words,” says David Erickson. “It’s a mixture of being carrier found and phone, obviously. And the idea behind it is that we used to have phone books. We used to have directories, and now everybody kind of would rather hide their phone number and I think the idea with found is that we’re a permission-based carrier meaning you have to ask for permission to call people and so people are more likely to want to get found right and then allow for contact on their terms with the people that find them and so we’re going back to the idea of having a directory of phone book you know but the ability to kind of lock down my communications and only allow through the people that I want to allow through.”

You might have encountered David before, as the founder of freeconferencecall.com (www.freeconferencecall.com ). Now David is back, solving he next big problem: the need to update a communication system invented in an era of printed directories and rotary dials. Now a permission based system, familiar to the era of social media, can be achieved for the first means of reaching people, in real time.
