ABOUT | SPOKE

We deliver conversations that move critical business forward

We bult the thing everyone said can't exist: mobile freedom and enterprise control all in one system.
10 Years ago, five observations changed everything

Why we built Spoke

Founders Kieron and Jason were working across time-zones and noticed five simple observations that led to them creating Spoke. A decade later, teams across finance, insurance, healthcare, and high-value retail run millions of conversations every week on Spoke.

1
Things get better when people talk

2
The most important business is no longer done sitting at a desk - it’s mobile

3
MOBILE is A 2ND CLASS CITIZEN

Everyone built phone systems for the desk; their mobile apps were an afterthought. Limited in features, flexibility, and oversight. 

4
COMPLIANCE was HARD — ON MOBILE, IMPOSSIBLE

Advisers, adjusters, clinicians, and sales teams do their best work on the move — but the moment a conversation left the desk phone, the business lost it. No record, no oversight, no visibility. And in regulated industries, that means real risk.

5
AI WILL CHANGE WHERE CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS LIVE

AI will eat low-value transactional conversations. What remains are complex and high-value conversations that require human EQ. Those humans won't sit at desks waiting for calls. They will be mobile, they will cost more, and they will need better tools.

Spoke is built to handle high-value, complex conversations on mobile — the kind everyone else treats as an afterthought.

TODAY SPOKE POWERS OVER FIVE MILLION CONVERSATIONS EVERY WEEK FOR SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST KNOWN BRANDS

At Spoke, we focus on the hard problems — because in regulated industries, the easy answers don’t work.

Jason Kerr
Co-Founder & CEO

5x founder. 4x exits. Patented 2-Way SMS protocols. At Spoke we're proving out a simple idea: things get better when people talk. As AI strips out the easy, transactional work, human conversation becomes the thing that will actually drive future revenue and customer value. I'm a Kiwi based in Auckland New Zealand —you can find me there or off-road adventure motorcycling somewhere around the world.

I have deep experience and expertise in building and delivering multi-channel SaaS & cloud solutions in the contact center, customer communications and CPaaS space.

Our mission, vision, and purpose

We exist to give teams the freedom to work from anywhere. To give companies full control and visibility. And to turn every conversation into something the business can learn and improve from.

What we do at Spoke

We work with companies in regulated industries where a lot of business happens over the phone, SMS, or WhatsApp messaging — and what people say really matters

Why We Exist

In regulated industries — finance, insurance, healthcare — every customer conversation carries real weight. It can influence a claim, a sale, a compliance outcome, or a customer's trust.

But most businesses still rely on disconnected systems, manual processes, and hope.

Conversations are critical. They deserve better.

The Problem We Solve

Regulated teams today are stuck choosing between two bad options:

  1. Lock everyone to the desk. Keep control. Lose speed and flexibility.
  2. Let teams go mobile. Gain speed. Lose visibility and compliance.

Neither works. We built Spoke so nobody has to choose.
