#2Cofounder of Sendwithus -- I just wanted to give an additional shout out to some of the amazing angel investors included in this round. Full details on AngelList (https://angel.co/sendwithus).
I think it shows how funding in the valley has changed when a company founded and based in a tiny Canadian city (Victoria, BC) can grow like this.

#4By "humanize transactional email", they mean "make spam more effective". We're going to need filters for transactional emails that filter out the spam part.

What? Transactional emails are by definition not bulk emails. They're sent in response to an event, like when you've requested a password reset or when the system warns that the CPU is on fire.

Exactly this; transactional or product based emails are baked into every web service or mobile app you use today. People depend on them for information they want, but the content shouldn't be owned by a developer. That's our goal :)

#9You mean I'll have to read through marketing BS when I need an important piece of data in an email I just received?
Wow, can't wait.

#10This is exactly what I've been looking for but couldn't find! Fantastic. Sendgrid strips HTML tags in their Template Engine but doesn't document it -- I debugged their WYSIWYG editor and gave them the source of the problem, but they asked me to send a video. After 4 rounds with support I had nearly given up on finding a good service that mashes developers with the marketing and design departments.
Three tips:
1. Please optimize your SEO! Searching for transactional email, transactional email service, transactional email comparison, I don't and didn't see you in results. (Guess I should have asked Hootsuite :)
2. I signed up from my mobile so I wouldn't forget -- your dash seems to work great except the gravatar/account is fixed position.
3. I tried to sign back in to confirm #2, but the log in link is nonexistent on mobile.
Congrats on the funding round from a fellow BC startup! Hope to see you around :)
