Summary

Nylas has announced its Series B funding led by Spark Capital, with Andrew Parker from Spark Capital joining their board. The company, founded in 2013, provides an API that facilitates seamless integration of email, calendar, and contact data into applications, addressing the complexity faced by developers in leveraging this vast communication network. With the new funding, Nylas aims to expand its team and customer base, having already achieved significant milestones like handling over 100 million API requests daily and syncing 15 billion emails. The company is proud of its SOC-2 certification and GDPR compliance and has added high-profile clients such as Hyundai and Newscorp. Nylas is focused on becoming the default tool for developers integrating inbox data, akin to how Stripe and Twilio are trusted in their domains. Core values like customer focus, action bias, diversity, transparency, and work-life balance guide their growth strategy.
