MessageBird: Company Profile & Valuation

MessageBird is an Amsterdam-headquartered cloud communications company offering an omnichannel messaging platform across SMS, email, voice and WhatsApp; now operates and markets under the name Bird. In 2011 Bob, Rene, Ihab, Adriaan and the company's founder founded MessageBird as a deep tech telecoms company, abstracting away the complexity of legacy carrier infrastructure to simple API's their customers could use to send messages. Its platform now covers five products, one shared layer: Email, SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and Realtime, all built on the same primitives.

MessageBird bootstrapped for five years before joining Y-Combinator in 2016, which became its first outside investor, and it later raised $200 million in Series C funding led by Spark Capital, reaching a $3 billion valuation.
