It's Luke here, I’m letting you know about improvements to VXT and changes to our pricing.

VXT is updating our terms of service effective 28th August 2023 (NZST). By continuing to use VXT, you accept the new terms.

Students Luke Campbell, Lucy Turner and Lachlan Maclean are on a mission to make voicemail in New Zealand more efficient with their software company Vxt. The trio are developing a 'visual voicemail' inbox application which converts voicemail to text and highlights the key point of the message. This month Vxt received a $4000 grant from New Zealand Business Intelligence (NZBI), as a part of their Giving Back competition for young entrepreneurs.

We had a fantastic experience this month sharing Vxt's story with the audience at Canterbury Tech's June event.

In this update, we’ve released web app payments and Vxt integrations with great tools like Zapier & Integromat!

We are super stoked to announce that we filled our marketing and software development positions a lot earlier than expected!

Lucy is one of the co-founders of Vxt and has led the technical side of the business since November 2018. The original idea for Vxt was to build a simple visual voicemail app which included speech to text, an idea that has since changed.

Our largest update ever is coming on January 27th 2024.

Professional service firms can now sync their VXT phone system with Karbon to automatically generate notes, saving time and mitigating risk.

This week Vxt was awarded the Christchurch Business Club's Business Development Grant for their smart assistant software which converts users voicemail to text and automates other tasks generally associated with checking voicemail.

We know the value of flexible working, so we have put innovative features and video calling together, to create Vxt Meetings.

We're thrilled to announce that Vxt is a Matchstiq Top 100 company in 2022!

Together Vxt and Clio will empower lawyers to be client-centered and firm-focused, simplifying firm management so lawyers can spend more time doing what they do best— practicing law.

There are many reasons why someone would want to disable their voicemail service on their iPhone. Some phone providers and carriers charge extra for voicemail, and a voicemail service sometimes results in playing cat-and-mouse with those trying to contact you. Traditional voicemail services can also consume large amounts of time, with every message having to be listened to in chronological order, and it taking hours to listen to caller details and the contents of each voicemail message. Due to these issues, it’s not hard to see why many people are turning away from voicemail entirely.

Lucy and I founded Vxt just 15 months ago in what has become a baptism by fire for two new entrepreneurs.

We've raised $600K in our pre-seed round and we're excited to continue transforming telecommunications for small businesses with Vxt.

This month Vxt was approved to join the Google Cloud for Startups Program. Participant startups receive access to community events, training and Cloud credits to help them develop their businesses. As early-stage startups like Vxt grow, the financial and community support from Google grows with them up to $100,000 USD.

This week Vxt entered into a funding agreement with Callaghan Innovation as a part of Callaghan's Research & Development funding programme. Callaghan's Getting Started Grants cover 40% of your research and development project costs up to a limit of $5,000.

Applications for our full-time summer internships are open! We have two positions available for keen undergraduate students at UC. If you've thought about working with our team, now is the perfect time to join.

The team behind Vxt were ecstatic to be announced as a finalist in the competition.

On Monday 27th July we quietly made Vxt available in the United States. In less than a week it has steadily grown to account for approximately 20% of daily new installs. This is wholly organic growth, we're not advertising in the US.

It's been a whirlwind few days since the launch of our beta programme. It has been awesome to hear from those of you already using the app.
