Hello!
We're the team behind Mailgun. Nice to meet you.
About Mailgun
Mailgun is the all-in-one, intelligent email delivery platform trusted by businesses, loved by developers.
Mailgun is how modern companies work with email. The platform’s ease of use, world-class support, and powerful APIs empower smart development teams to reach real customers at scale with a data-driven approach so their organization can grow faster.
Send and track your transactional and marketing messages effortlessly. Prevent fake signups and remove invalid email addresses from your list quickly. Partner with email experts to improve your deliverability and drive higher conversion rates.
Mailgun was founded in 2010 as a response to the lack of developer-friendly, API-based email services. The idea was to make it dead simple for developers to integrate email capabilities into your app. Since then, we’ve stayed laser-focused on deliverability and steered clear of shiny objects that won’t impact your success.
Today, Mailgun helps hundreds of thousands of companies and leading brands around the world send hundreds of billions of emails every year. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and this is only the beginning.

2010 - Mailgun was born
Two friends were building an app and needed to integrate transactional email. When they realized this capability either didn’t exist or didn’t work in other services, they set out to build it themselves.
2011 - Incubated by Y Combinator
Mailgun was selected for Y Combinator’s 2011 class, accelerating the company’s product and growth with early funding from the creators of Yahoo Mail and Gmail, among others
2012 - Acquired by Rackspace
Rackspace acquired Mailgun so their hosting customers could easily integrate cloud-based email services into their applications and websites.
2013 - Launch of email validations
Mailgun released the very first version of its email verification API to help customers improve their email reputation. Since then, the tool has become the fastest email validation service in the industry, based on real delivery data from billions of emails sent.
2014 - Mailgun introduces managed service
Mailgun started offering a dedicated, one-to-one email expert to help large senders achieve better deliverability and ultimately higher open and click rates.
2017 - Becoming an independent company
Mailgun spun out from Rackspace with $50M in growth capital from Turn/River Capital with participation by Scaleworks and Rackspace.
2019 - Acquired by Thoma Bravo
After iterating on our product set for several years, Mailgun received a strategic growth investment from Thoma Bravo, a leading private equity firm in the software and technology sector.
2021 - Acquired by Sinch
