Us
The typical software company has between 4 - 6 email-sending providers by the Series C stage. We’re rolling them up into one, clean platform to help software companies efficiently scale their communication with their users.
Loops is an email-sending platform dedicated to crafting a high level of product quality and exceptional customer experience. Our mission revolves around two core principles:
- Building a great product
- Talking to users
We believe that great products are born from close collaboration with our users and a relentless focus on quality. Join us if you believe the same.
Our team
We’re a small team (currently 6), focused on exceptional User Experience and a rock-solid, feature-rich product. We ship quickly and speak with new and existing users daily. Our emphasis is on retention and growth. If you’re a fan of companies like Notion, Figma, Raycast or Linear then you’ll appreciate our product development and engineering process.
Everyone talks to users.
