Mailjet operates globally and is used by marketing teams, developers and enterprises to integrate email delivery into their applications and campaigns.[1]

editMailjet was founded in 2010 by Wilfried Durand and Julien Tartarin in Nantes, France, through the startup studio eFounders.[2]
In 2011, the company raised €2.5 million from Alven Capital.[3] Additional funding rounds followed, including €2.2 million in 2014[4] and $11 million in 2015, backed by Alven Capital, Iris Capital, and Seventure Partners.[1]
During this period, Mailjet expanded internationally, opening offices in New York City, London, and Berlin. By 2015, it reported more than 32,000 customers worldwide.[5]
