About SendGrid
Founded in 2009, SendGrid built its reputation solving a key pain point of delivering transactional
emails that respond to customer behavior (purchase receipts, order confirmations, password
resets, etc.). In 2015, SendGrid expanded the platform into marketing email use cases, enabling
customers to have one platform for both transactional and marketing email. We deliver over 45
billion emails a month for customers like Airbnb, Spotify, and Yelp.
