History

Brevo was founded in 2012 in Paris, France, under the name Sendinblue, by Armand Thiberge.

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]
