History

Founded in 2013^[2] by Erez Pilosof and Dvir Ben-Aroya,^[3] Spike is a software application that puts existing e-mails into a multimedia messaging, chat-like interface enhanced with video and voice calls. The application was initially named Hop.^[4]

In 2019, the developers completed a $5 million funding round including investment from Wix.com and NFX Capital.^[2]

In 2021 Spike announced a collaboration with Meta to launch on the Oculus Store and would become one of the first productivity apps to launch in Meta's new virtual world, known as the Metaverse.^[5]

Mode of use

The app enables users to organize email into three types of "conversations,"a traditional inbox/sent format, by subject, or by people. Spike users can also make audio and video calls to each other, and other features include a calendar, contact list, and Groups.

Spike is available for Microsoft Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android, and as a web version,^[3] and works with Gmail, Outlook, Exchange, iCloud, Yahoo! Mail and IMAP email providers.^[6]
