Communication is key to building strong relationships but businesses often miss the mark

Marketers want to deliver meaningful customer experiences, but struggle to stitch together the data and tools to make it happen.

For early to mid-stage businesses, great customer experiences are often the difference between winning against large incumbents or failing.

A communication suite powered by customer data

Companies need insight into how their customers are interacting with them to communicate effectively. Today, Customer.io solves this by:  

1. Aggregating all first-party data a business has about its customers. 

2. Giving tech-savvy marketers the knowledge and tools to automate emails, push notifications, and SMS messages powered by that customer data.

Using Customer.io, businesses now can communicate the way their audience expects.

Automating an engaging customer experience

With a simple integration, customers stream real-time business data into Customer.io. 

Marketers design and send relevant communication, unique to every customer, across email, push notification, sms, whatsapp, and other channels. 

If you can dream it, you can do it. 

Inside the platform, each customer for a business has a profile with data that is always up to date.

The power of Customer.io is in the demographic and behavior based segmentation engine. 

Businesses design their custom logic and rules for who receives messages and when they get sent. 

With robust metrics and testing tools, businesses get feedback and can continually improve.  

With Customer.io, businesses can spend more time on strategy and less on building, allowing them to grow by making strategic data-driven decisions.

Marketing automation expected to be a $47B market by 2027

Customer Engagement merges marketing automation, mobile marketing automation, and email marketing. Solutions in this space are responsible for every interaction between a business and its audience.

Customer Engagement connects companies and their customers on every channel

Customer.io's functionality is often considered Marketing Automation and we're an early leader in a new market: Customer Engagement. Businesses will purchase Customer Engagement Platforms instead of "point solution" marketing automation tools. People now expect companies to have a shared brain and consistent behavior across every interaction they have. Customer Engagement Platforms are the answer.

Empowering early and mid-stage companies with advanced marketing tools

Small Business competitors strip down functionality, forcing companies with advanced needs to migrate as their sophistication grows.

Enterprise-focused competitors have raised hundreds of millions in funding. They abandon growing, but early companies in need of advanced functionality.

These two approaches create a gap in the market for Customer.io to work with companies as early as pre-launch to be the first and last tool they implement to design, build, and automate intricate messaging workflows for every stage of their business.

Interacting with a business should feel like they understand you

Customer.io is often the "source of truth" about a businesses customers.  We're creating a future where every customer facing team has a complete picture of a customer so they can make better automated and manual decisions.

We're also focused on building a big independent company and we're not looking to sell. There appears to be a viable path to grow beyond $100m in ARR within 5 years. We'll seek to create liquidity for investors via rapidly evolving private markets or in the public markets. 

Fundstrapping our way to $100M+ ARR

We've proven businesses can be both capital-efficient and fast-growing. We call that approach "Fundstrapping".

We've grown to 21m+ ARR on $3.54M raised from Oregon Venture Fund, Kima Ventures, Techstars Ventures, Box Group, notable Angel investors like Fabrice Grinda and many others.

Pioneering using real-time analytics data to trigger messages

The founders met working at a venture-funded startup in New York City. Recognizing that marketers struggled to do their job with no access to message content buried in code, and customer data locked in production databases, they left to solve that through starting Customer.io in 2012.
