About us

Truecaller is a leading search technology company that is transforming the phonebook with a set of intelligent and useful services. Our three apps, Truecaller, Truedialer and Truemessenger coincide to create different functions based off of our database of over 2 billion phone numbers (and growing), and more than 200 million users around the world. Each second we handle over 12,000 user searches and we support multiple platforms like Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian and Blackberry. Our users have rewarded our hard work with 4+ stars on our apps both Google Play and in App Store. In 2014 we were the proud recipient of the ?Swedish Company of the Year? award.

We are backed by some of the most prominent investors in the world, and last year we received over $80 million in funding from Sequoia Capital, Atomico, and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Today, we are an agile organization where we focus more on the product and our users than on processes and policies. Every team member voices their opinion, and ideas and are part of building and shaping our Truecaller vision and culture.
