Mailgun ne yapar

Mailgun is a developer-focused email delivery platform that empowers companies to send, receive, and track transactional and marketing emails through an API. Founded in 2010, Mailgun became a Y-Combinator success story later acquired by Rackspace. In February 2017, Mailgun spun back out as a standalone business focused on building best-in-class email deliverability solutions. We are headquartered in San Antonio with remote teams in San Francisco and Austin. Customers like Slack, Lyft, Github, and Reddit rely on Mailgun to deliver email to their customers.

Email API service.

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

We are building an email delivery platform that lets developers send, receive, and track transactional and marketing emails through a simple API. Our product handles complex email infrastructure so developers don't have to manage their own SMTP servers or worry about deliverability.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are currently based in San Francisco, CA. After YC, the company would remain in San Francisco or nearby to stay close to tech talent and our early users.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the engineering talent we need and is home to most of our early customers. Being close to the startup ecosystem helps us build partnerships and hire effectively.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Mailgun şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Mailgun'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Mailgun gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
