About Hollis

We built the receptionist we always wished we had

Hollis started in a dental clinic waiting room, watching a front desk juggle ringing phones and real patients at the same time. Today we help thousands of small businesses answer every call, without hiring a call center.

Our story

It started with a missed call

In 2023, our co-founder Maya was sitting in her sister’s dental clinic when the phone rang six times in ten minutes. Every call was a new patient. Most of them went to voicemail, and most of them never called back.

We realized the problem was not effort. Front desks are doing three jobs at once, and the phone always loses. So we set out to build a receptionist that never puts anyone on hold, never sounds robotic and knows the business as well as the best person on the team.

Today Hollis answers millions of calls for clinics, salons, vets and studios. Our job is simple: make sure every caller feels looked after, and give your team the time to look after the people in front of them.

“The best front desk is the one that never makes you wait. That is the bar we hold Hollis to, every single call.”
