Our Story

About Us


Hi, I’m Leo — the founder of Aroha Calls.


I started this company at 19 after seeing a problem almost every small business faces: phones ringing non-stop while owners and staff are too busy to pick up. Every missed call can mean a missed booking, lost revenue, or even a lost customer.


I’ve always been passionate about technology and entrepreneurship. While working part-time and learning how businesses run, I realised that even in the age of online booking systems, people still pick up the phone. Customers want the reassurance of talking to someone, getting instant answers, and confirming their bookings right away.


That’s why I built Aroha Calls — a 24/7 AI receptionist that makes sure you never miss an opportunity.
