Mailchimp

Leading email marketing platform for small and medium-sized businesses with millions of users globally

Mailchimp is a comprehensive marketing automation platform that began as an email marketing service and has evolved into a full-featured customer relationship management and marketing solution. Founded in 2001 by Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius in Atlanta, the company grew organically without venture capital funding for nearly two decades, serving millions of small and medium-sized businesses worldwide. In September 2021, Mailchimp was acquired by Intuit for approximately $12 billion, becoming a subsidiary while maintaining its distinct brand and operations. Today, Mailchimp operates as a key component of Intuit's small business ecosystem, offering email marketing, marketing automation, audience management, creative tools, and analytics. The platform serves businesses of all sizes but maintains a strong focus on small to medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and creators. Mailchimp's user-friendly interface and accessible pricing have made it one of the most recognizable names in email marketing. As part of Intuit, Mailchimp continues to operate independently while benefiting from integration opportunities with Intuit's other products like QuickBooks. The platform processes billions of emails monthly and serves millions of users globally, maintaining its position as a leading marketing platform in the MarTech and email service provider space.
