Restoring Trust in Digital Communication
Phound was built on a bold idea: Communication should be secure, seamless, and always in your control. In a world where spam calls, scams, and AI-generated noise have eroded trust, Phound is rewriting the rules—bringing authenticity back to digital interactions.
The Visionary: Dave Erickson’s Mission to Reinvent Trust
Erickson disrupted the telecom industry with FreeConferenceCall.com, proving that connection should be free and accessible to everyone. But after two decades, he saw a deeper problem: spam and scam calls had taken over, people had lost control over who could reach them, and digital interactions felt impersonal and insecure. He envisioned Phound—a platform that restores trust in communication, prioritizing privacy, security, and user-controlled connections.
