Kubbly

Kubbly is an AI-powered conversational messaging platform that lets brands conduct personalised, non-spammy conversations with customers across email, text and WhatsApp. Its use of predictive machine learning - anticipating what each person wants next and when they are most likely to engage - underpins a product aimed at consumer brands and e-commerce firms in the customer-engagement and marketing-technology space.

The technical work spans machine learning, recommendation systems, predictive modelling, conversational AI, personalisation and customer-engagement analytics. The founding team has more than ten years of experience building ML and recommendation systems at Amazon and Goldman Sachs, and has licensed technologies to Fortune 1000 companies. Bek Ventures, an investor in Kubbly, previously backed UiPath and Payhawk.

The engineering culture is described as "high conviction, low ego". Engineers own the full pipeline rather than working tickets, code review is deliberately lightweight, and the team runs weekly tech talks, paper discussions and post-mortems on interesting bugs. The founders are engineers first and engage deeply on implementation details; they have prior experience building startups.
