"Brad and I look at investment the same way we look at hiring and we think we've “hired” some of the best seed and angel investors in the world. It's been 21 months since Brad and I started Sendwithus, but it feels like just yesterday we were hacking together the first version of our template editor. We've grown a lot since then. Today, we're proud of the email template solution that Sendwithus offers, and we want to thank the thousands of developers and marketers that trust us to handle their email everyday", stated Matt Harris, Co-Founder in a blog post on the company's website.

"The next milestone for Sendwithus is building and growing features on top of our existing template engine. This includes features like A/B testing and Drip Campaigns(both of which have been available for some time now), but also many advanced features that let marketers make the most of their email: Segmentation, Segment.IO integration [coming soon], and revenue tracking [in beta now!]".
"From our offices in Victoria, BC, and San Francisco, California, we're committed to continuing to build the best email platform in the world for developers and marketers alike. Thanks for all your support, Matt, Brad, & the whole Sendwithus" team.
