So incredibly grateful to the team at @trycourier who got us so far, so quickly. My greatest fear when starting Courier was "would we find PMF?" Our team made it happen. One hurdle down, many more to go. 🙏
P.S.: We're hiring! 🚀 jobs.lever.co/trycourier
We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $10M Series A from @BessemerVP, @MatrixPartners, @twilio, @slack, @ycombinator 🚀 We’ve partnered with the world’s best comms APIs to deliver Multi-Channel Messaging Infrastructure that scales with you from zero to IPO. We're hiring!
VCs aren’t impressed by “we use AI.”
They care about one thing:
Does your product remove friction and speed people up?
The loudest won’t win.
The fastest will.

Founders overestimate strategy and underestimate momentum.
Startups don’t die because of the “wrong plan.”
They die because they stop moving.
Ship something small. Create motion. Learn. Adjust.
Progress > perfection.

Most founders obsess over what to build next.
The real leverage is learning what NOT to build.
Customers don’t care about your feature list.
They care about getting to an outcome faster.
Sometimes the best growth move is cutting, not adding.
Velocity > complexity.
Everyone’s chasing the next big AI breakthrough.
The real opportunity? Helping builders ship faster, not fancier.
Ask yourself: does your product kill friction—or just make you look smart?
Velocity > novelty. Every time.
One of @trycourier's superpowers is a deep understanding that both API & UI are equally important to developer experience. Stoked by how our team is raising the bar for ourselves and the entire #devtools industry. Take a look at today's sneak peek:

I tried OneSignal, SendGrid, EmailJS, few other things, ideally wanted one place for notifications and not implement any myself. Courier's onboarding process won my heart, and the DX is lovely

What’s more important to notifications than your users’ preferences? We just launched Courier Preferences: the fastest way to design the best preference experience.

AI-powered product notifications are now a reality! Use Courier’s GPT-integration to optimize copy for a channel or build new notifications from scratch.

We're incredibly excited to launch our new #developer workshop series DECODE.
Here's the thinking:
In 2023, software teams are spending more time on the notification experience of their web and mobile apps—ways to better engage…lnkd.in/gERuSy_U lnkd.in/gKktsjhv
We had another Twilion join us. People who were able to witness the early days of Twilio make for strategic members of our team, helping us understand the nuance of communications GTM strategy. lnkd.in/gkwU7Vps
If the world is interested in removing SPAM, the likely reaction will make messaging a strict environment and organizations will need infrastructure in place to react quickly. lnkd.in/gD2BpMWq
We assembled some of our research about user preferences into a 20 page resource for folks to digest and think about when sending notifications moving into 2023. lnkd.in/gEmKNj4e
We often find that platform engineering teams get a lot of value from the organization that Courier can bring to one's software architecture. Excited to have Jason join and advance ours. lnkd.in/gWxJq2bw
When you finally find that Head of Product Marketing that fits. Happy to have you on the team @tweet_anwesa, and congrats on the hire @worldsoup! lnkd.in/dti7qQGx
This week was great, and looking forward to next week! Have a great weekend! 💌 lnkd.in/gQTsV9gE
