Analysis
Numeracle has raised $28 million from Edison Partners to expand its platform for verifying legitimate businesses and correcting incorrect spam labels on their phone calls, Crunchbase News reported Oct. 28, 2026. Edison was the sole investor in the round, which brings Numeracle's total funding to $34.8 million since its 2018 founding. The company declined to disclose a valuation.
What Numeracle does
Founded in 2018 by chief executive Rebekah Johnson, an engineer who previously worked in telecom regulatory compliance at West and served on the FCC's Robocall Strike Force in 2016, Numeracle verifies that businesses are real and legitimate, then links that identity to the phone numbers they use to reach customers. It shares that verified data with carrier call-screening systems to fix incorrect spam labels, and separately sells business-verification checks to other companies before they onboard new customers.
“## Numeracle's funding history Numeracle raised a $6.8 million Series A in December 2023 before this week's round from Edison Partners.”
Numeracle's revenue comes from an annual subscription to monitor and fix spam labels plus a per-call fee for displaying a business's name, logo and reason for calling. The company, based in McLean, Virginia, says it has about 4,000 business customers and roughly 85 employees across financial services, home services, higher education, healthcare, government and charity clients, and became profitable this year -- earlier than Johnson expected.
Numeracle's funding history
Numeracle raised a $6.8 million Series A in December 2023 before this week's round from Edison Partners. The new financing brings total disclosed funding to $34.8 million since inception; Numeracle has not disclosed a round letter for it.
Who invested in Numeracle
Edison Partners was the sole investor in the new round; general partner Lenard Marcus represented the firm. Numeracle's December 2023 Series A investors were not named in available reporting.
The spam-label and caller-verification market
The caller ID verification market researchers track was valued at $2.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $7.4 billion by 2034, a 12.4% annual growth rate, according to MarketIntelo.
Numeracle's category has drawn venture capital before: Hiya, a comparable caller-identification company, raised $18 million in a 2017 Series A led by Balderton Capital with Nautilus Venture Partners and Lumia Capital participating, according to a Hiya press release.
Marcus, the Edison partner, said Numeracle has an edge over "newer competitors" without naming them, and argued the demand spans healthcare, retail, home services and finance: "This is a communications problem, not one for one industry."
What to watch
Johnson and Marcus both point to AI as reshaping the threat Numeracle defends against: the company says it has seen fabricated businesses complete with state registrations, employer identification numbers and fake employees carrying active LinkedIn profiles. One contact-center customer told Edison that answered calls rose from 19,000 to 22,000 out of 40,000 monthly calls after using Numeracle -- a real but modest lift that the company will need to replicate at scale as it pushes into messaging, chat apps, marketplaces and AI agents with the new capital, part of this year's broader wave of fraud-prevention funding Pulse has tracked.
