Otta's take

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Email is universally recognised as the foundation of business communications. Connecting companies and people globally, it is the most relied upon method of communication. Pathwire taps into this by optimising the email communications process through an integrated, comprehensive platform.

Through infrastructure built to scale, Pathwire provides a vast array of email features to improve efficiency and the user experience, such as a reduction in spam and overcrowded inboxes. Using machine learning to generate relevant and timely solutions and on-hand customer support, Pathwire can serve businesses of any size; major customers include Lyft, Microsoft, and DHL.

The company's acquisition by leading communication company Sinch has consolidated its position as a reputable, effective platform. The acquisition allows for further developments within the US market and a focus placed on embedded communications.
