Our story

Two engineers, one rented server, zero patience

PostedApi was founded in 2016 by two engineers who kept watching their carefully crafted password resets and receipts drown in spam folders. Every provider promised deliverability; none treated it like engineering.

So we built the service we wanted to pay for: carefully vetted sending IPs, humans reviewing every new account, and support staffed by people who actually run the servers. Then we refused to build anything else.

Bootstrapped from day one — no investors, no growth-at-all-costs
Profitable early, and boringly stable ever since
One product, done properly: transactional email, nothing bolted on

Why we do it this way

The road so far

Nine years, one obsession

Slow by startup standards. Deliberately.

2016 Two engineers, one grudge

PostedApi is founded in a rented office with a single server and a simple bet: developers will pay for email that just lands.
2018 First billion delivered

Two years in, we pass one billion emails delivered. Word of mouth does the marketing; the inbox placement does the rest.
2021 Inbound email launches

Customers asked us to receive email, not just send it. Inbound arrives as parsed JSON webhooks — same API keys, same support team.
2025 Eight billion and counting

Over 8 billion emails delivered since 2016, on the same product we started with. Still bootstrapped, still profitable, still no spam.
