History
Brevo was founded in 2012 in Paris, France, under the name Sendinblue, by Armand Thiberge. The company initially focused on providing email marketing and transactional email services for small and medium-sized businesses. The same year, the company opens its first offices in Paris, France and Noida, India. Globally, the company has four offices: Paris, Delhi, Seattle, and Berlin. Sendinblue has over 500,000 active users in 160 countries. It is currently used by 180,000 businesses worldwide.[5]
Sendinblue was chosen as one of 20 startups to watch in 2016 by Forbes magazine.[6]
In October 2020, Brevo raised $160 million in Series B funding, one of the largest rounds for a French tech company at the time. The funding round was led by Bridgepoint, Bpifrance, and BlackRock, with the goal of expanding into new markets and developing additional tools such as CRM and automation features.[7]
In 2023, Sendinblue changed its name to Brevo.[8] Later that year, Brevo acquired mobile app push provider WonderPush and customer data platform (CDP) provider Octolis.[9]
