This is the pitch deck SendGrid used to raise $750K in 2009. In it, the company maps out the state of email, highlighting personal email clients like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Gmail as well as email marketing services like Mailchimp and VerticalResponse. It also outlines its proposition to increase email deliverability for “transactional” emails — like shipping alerts and social media requests — by 20%. In October 2018, Twilio acquired SendGrid for $2B in stock at a $3B valuation. Many things have changed since 2012 in the fintech world, today founders struggle with the competition when fundraising. Don't take these decks as a template, each startup is unique in how it approaches the problem and the market.
