Its cloud-based platform allows for frictionless adoption and immediate value creation for businesses, providing their developers and marketers with the tools to seamlessly and effectively reach their customers using email. Since inception, it has processed more than a trillion emails.
SendGrid was founded by developers who were frustrated with their own experiences in managing email delivery. They wanted to build a system “that just worked” for developers and allowed them to focus on strategic business activities. They developed a robust technology platform incorporating their domain expertise and created an application programming interface that allowed for easy integration by businesses.
In the filing the company listed some of its financial highlights for 2014, 2015, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as follows:
- Total revenue was $42.8 million, $58.5 million, $79.9 million, and $80.2 million, respectively.
