SendGrid

Leading email delivery platform and API provider, now part of Twilio's customer engagement ecosystem

SendGrid is a cloud-based email delivery platform that provides transactional and marketing email services to businesses worldwide. Founded in 2009, the company built a robust infrastructure for sending, receiving, and tracking emails at scale, becoming one of the leading email API providers in the market. SendGrid's platform enables developers and marketers to send billions of emails monthly with high deliverability rates, real-time analytics, and comprehensive email management tools. In 2019, SendGrid was acquired by Twilio for approximately $3 billion and now operates as part of Twilio's customer engagement platform. As a Twilio company, SendGrid continues to operate under its own brand while integrating with Twilio's broader communications infrastructure. The platform serves over 80,000 customers globally, including major brands and startups, delivering more than 100 billion emails annually. SendGrid's significance in the email delivery ecosystem stems from its developer-friendly APIs, high deliverability rates, and scalable infrastructure. The platform bridges the gap between technical email delivery requirements and marketing communication needs, offering both SMTP relay services and sophisticated email marketing tools. As part of Twilio, SendGrid strengthens the parent company's position in the customer engagement and communications platform market.
