The SMS revenue platform for e-commerce
We built a platform that lets e-commerce merchants run SMS marketing campaigns and have direct conversations with customers at scale. Merchants use Postscript to drive more revenue through text messaging by integrating with their stores and managing real-time conversations with tens of millions of shoppers.
We all live remote currently. The company will remain remote after YC.
Remote lets us hire the best engineers and support partners without being limited to a location. Our operations and users are spread across the US, so this fits how we work best.
