What Userfox does
userfox is a SaaS product that helps companies improve user retention through welcome, inactivity and custom trigger based emails. We're building a company. Not a product, and certainly not a feature. We believe that making this clear matters. It sets expectations to ourselves and to our customers. We're based in sunny San Francisco, California.

User retention as a service. Drip email
Userfox is a SaaS product that helps companies improve user retention by sending welcome emails, inactivity reminders, and other trigger-based emails tailored to their users. We focus on making it easy for businesses to automate retention communications without building their own email infrastructure.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here, both now and after YC.
We live in San Francisco, so it makes sense for the company to be based here to stay close to tech partners, early customers, and YC itself.
