Klaviyo, Inc. is a global technology company that provides a marketing automation platform, used primarily for email marketing and SMS marketing. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.[3] A majority of the approximately 143,000 [4] merchants who use Klaviyo's software are e-commerce sellers who host their offerings on Shopify.[5]

History

The company was founded in 2012 by Andrew Bialecki and Ed Hallen.[6] Both Bialecki and Hallen had previously worked at Applied Predictive Technologies.[5]

In August 2022, e-commerce company Shopify announced it was making Klaviyo the recommended email solution partner for its Shopify Plus merchant platform, with a US$100,000,000 strategic investment into the company.[7][8]

In May 2023, Klaviyo filed for an initial public offering (IPO) for a listing at the New York Stock Exchange.[5][9] In September, the company went public, raising $576 million in the IPO at a $9.2 billion valuation.[10][11]

Software and services

The Klaviyo platform primarily integrates with e-commerce platforms, such as Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, Stripe, and WooCommerce.[12]

In addition to its e-commerce platform integrations, users can integrate other tools from their tech stacks like Zendesk, Okendo [13] and Salesforce, directly to Klaviyo, or use an API solution when an integration needs to be customized.[14]

Awards

In 2023, Klaviyo was ranked at 6 in Forbes' Cloud 100, a ranking of 100 private cloud companies.[15]

In 2023, Klaviyo was ranked amongst the top 600 best workplaces in the US.[16]
