Jolly Roger Telephone Co. After Shark Tank

Jolly Roger Telephone Co. left without a Shark investment, which is not especially surprising for a subscription service built around voice bots that waste telemarketers' time.

The business has kept its core model: subscribers forward unwanted callers to bots, listen to recordings, and use different robot voices for personal lines or receptionist-style call handling. Follow-up data used in the Season 10 notes puts annual revenue around $1 million. (Jolly Roger Telephone official site

The current website offers a 30-day free trial and annual pricing that works out to $1.99 per month, with examples of newer recorded calls and help pages for setup, personalized greetings, live call listening, and the mobile app. The update is incremental, but the service is visibly alive.
