No-code platform to send forms and widgets in emails

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an email marketing platform that lets marketers embed interactive app-like elements - such as forms, shopping carts, calendars, and NPS widgets - directly inside emails. This removes extra steps for users, so they can take actions without leaving their inbox, increasing conversions and engagement.

We live in San Francisco and remote. The company is based in San Francisco, CA, with a distributed team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in San Francisco to stay close to early customers and talent. Remote work allows us to scale the team efficiently.
