Brevo

Brevo, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Paris, builds a customer relationship management suite that spans email, SMS and WhatsApp messaging, live chat, marketing automation, transactional messaging, sales management, a customer data platform and loyalty programmes. The company was formerly known as Sendinblue. Its platform is designed to give businesses a unified view of the entire customer journey across digital channels, and it is used by more than 500,000 businesses in 180 countries.

For engineers, the appeal lies in the breadth and operating scale of the system: messaging infrastructure handling transactional and marketing traffic for half a million customers, automation and segmentation engines sitting on a customer data platform, and products spanning the full lifecycle from acquisition to loyalty. The commercial trajectory is equally concrete - approximately $193m in annual recurring revenue in 2024, growth of 35% year on year, and unicorn status reached in 2024.

Brevo employs close to 1,000 people representing more than 67 nationalities, working from offices in Paris, Seattle, Toronto, Berlin, Vienna, Sofia, Noida and Bengaluru. The company serves customers across retail and e-commerce, luxury goods, automotive and mobility, technology and marketplaces, as well as general SMB and enterprise marketing.
