Our take

Combining data analysis with machine learning, the Hiya platform helps businesses and individuals field calls and block spam numbers from calling them. Saving businesses time and potential security breaches, the company aims to resolidify trust in business calls, especially from unidentified numbers.

Founded in 2016, Hiya claims that in 2022 spam calls were up by more than 30% and that spam and fraud callers are becoming more sophisticated. With tech advances in cybercrime, the opposite is true too. Hiya use AI to fight the tech used by scammers, its most recent product is a personalized AI that analyzes personal data and learns from the calls an individual takes and hangs up. This innovation will help Hiya stand out in a competitive security marketplace, though one that is mostly focused on internet safety and company data breaches. Hiya has the potential to reach a far larger client base than just businesses, and this key difference has helped it raise $18 million in funding so far.

Of course, cybercrime changes with the times, and Hiya will have to continue innovating into the future to keep up with radical shifts in the way AI is used to scam individuals. So far though, the Seattle-based company has been highly successful.
