    Good to know that the team has email industry expertise, but how does having this expertise differentiate you vs a competitor that, presumably, has team members with industry expertise as well?
    • dancablam2 hours ago
      Most do have email industry expertise. But for whatever reason email infrastructure expertise seems to be a dying breed with most providers pushing their infrastructure into major cloud providers. It has its benefits, but its costs too - and those get passed on to you. Our background has been in email infrastructure (managing it ourselves instead of paying a 3rd party to do it and sticking you with the bill).

    I didn’t immediately see any discussion of deliverability. That’s like the number 1 criteria anyone sending email in production cares about.
    • dancablam8 hours ago
      Agreed. Our team's background is in deliverability. Our last startup was a deliverability company founded in 2014, grew to ~20,000 paying customers, and sold in 2020 so we know the space very well and have built Anypost around those best practices. Also happy to provide guidance to anyone who needs help with it. I can go into any specifics if interested.

    I was excited to sign up for this. But, I never got your verification email, so I can't sign up. That should be your bread and butter.

      We saw your sign up! Looks like your domain has greylisting enabled. Nothing we can do but obey that limit. You should get it if you try again or wait for our retry: Message was greylisted, try again in 1 minute 50 seconds

      Ok nevermind, it showed up, but took longer than I expected.

        Glad you got it! I'll send you a personal email from me so you can reach out if you have any more issues.

    What is the differentiator here? Why would anyone choose this?
    • dancablam6 hours ago
      Fair question. Here are a few reasons:

      - Pricing wins against pretty much any provider (and is an order of magnitude lower than many incumbents). - Especially when compared to SES, we're a dev-friendly, fully modern sending platform and we don't require you to glue a bunch of services together. - We're self funded from previous acquisitions in the space. We're focused on good customer outcomes instead of investor outcomes. - We have a pretty cool templating platform that allows you to write simple markdown instead of convoluted email-compatible HTML.
