Phound: Revolutionizing Communication in a Privacy-Driven World

LONG BEACH, Calif., Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a time when digital privacy is increasingly hard to come by, Phound has emerged as a groundbreaking solution for individuals and businesses seeking control, trust, and seamless communication. This innovative platform, which combines calling, texting, and video conferencing, has redefined what it means to stay safe and connected in a digital-first world.

"Privacy and connectivity shouldn't be mutually exclusive," says Eugene Tcipnjatov, co-Phounder of Phound. "Our goal is to provide users with the tools to manage their digital lives on their terms—where privacy isn't an afterthought but a cornerstone of every interaction."

Phound achieves this through four key pillars: privacy-first communication, verified identities, dynamic contact management, and Persona-driven interactions. These features form a comprehensive solution that addresses the most pressing communication challenges of today.

Privacy-First Communication

Privacy lies at the heart of Phound's platform. By offering granular controls and real-time privacy settings, Phound lets users dictate how, when, and by whom they can be contacted. This ensures that unwanted calls, texts, and interruptions are a thing of the past.

"Our mission is simple: empower people to communicate meaningfully without compromise," explains Dave Erickson, Phound's co-Phounder. "Phound ensures your phone works for you, not against you."

The app's persona management allows seamless transitions between professional, personal, and public modes, offering tailored communication that respects users' boundaries.

Building Trust with Verified Identities

Phound's verified identity system brings trust back into communication by using government-issued ID verification to authenticate users. It's a game-changer in combating scam calls and phishing texts.

"Trust isn't optional anymore," emphasizes Tcipnjatov. "Whether it's a business transaction or a message from a loved one, people need to know the person on the other end is who they claim to be."

Features such as real-time identity confirmation and trust scores ensure authenticity in every interaction. "We're not just stopping scams," adds Erickson. "We're redefining what it means to trust someone in the digital age."

Dynamic Contact Management

Gone are the days of static, outdated address books. Phound's dynamic contact system turns contacts into a living network of verified connections that adapt in real-time.

"Your address book should be as dynamic as your life," says Erickson. "With Phound, you'll never have to wonder if you're using the right number or email again."

Key capabilities include self-managed contact updates, real-time availability indicators, and identity verification—ensuring that every contact remains accurate and trustworthy.

Personas: Managing the "Multiple Me's"

Modern life requires us to wear many hats, and Phound's Personas feature is designed to keep up. Users can create multiple digital identities for different facets of their lives, from professional to personal and public.

"Our lives aren't one-dimensional, so why should our communication be?" asks Erickson. "Personas let you tailor how you interact with different groups, all while maintaining control and privacy."

Whether networking professionally, catching up with family, or maintaining anonymity, Personas provides flexibility and context-aware communication tailored to individual needs. "It's not just innovation," Tcipnjatov adds. "It's liberation."

A Unified Vision for Modern Communication

Phound combines privacy, trust, and adaptability in a single service. Addressing critical issues such as phishing, vishing, spam, scam prevention, and outdated contact systems, It sets a new standard for secure, user-centric communication.

"Phound is more than an app," Erickson concludes. "It's a movement to put people back in control of their digital lives."
