stensul — the first agile email creation platform for the enterprise — announced it raised $16 million in Series B funding led by USVP with participation from Capital One Ventures, Peak State Ventures along with existing investors Javelin Venture Partners, Uncork Capital, First Round Capital, and Lowercase Capital.

This round of funding also included several executives from enterprise software companies including a number of executives from leading enterprise software firms including Okta co-founder and Executive Vice Chairman and COO Frederic Kerrest, Okta CMO Ryan Carlson, former Marketo/Adobe SVP Product Aaron Bird, Avid Larizadeh Duggan OBE, Gary Swart, Talend CMO Lauren Vaccarello, and several others. And the funding will go toward product innovation and scaling go-to-market functions to accelerate stensul’s adoption among enterprise marketing organizations.

The Stensul Agile Email Creation was built to directly address a need for collaboration, speed, and agility in email marketing programs. The most agile organizations still face major obstacles and organizational inefficiencies when it comes to everything that happens before their marketing automation platforms. And relative to the speed at which digital marketing channels operate, email creation happens at a lethargic pace, taking weeks to create a single email.

Stensul Agile Email Creation is transforming the end-to-end creation process for emails. And not only is stensul easy to use, the platform seamlessly integrates with leading marketing automation, digital asset management, and work management solutions.

KEY QUOTES:

“Of the many truths hiding in plain sight that 2020 has revealed, email is the lynchpin that drives everything for audience engagement, out-performing every other channel by a huge margin. Unfortunately, many organizations still operate with an outdated email creation model that holds marketing teams back and limits their ability to compete. Stensul brings substantial speed and agility to the email creation process, enabling teams to achieve better outcomes, without adding headcount or sacrificing quality.”

— stensul CEO Noah Dinkin

“We are proud to be part of the stensul investment team. We have observed that successful enterprise software companies focus on a specific pain point and really nail it in terms of providing a solution to that need. We were blown away by what we heard from stensul’s blue-chip enterprise customers about the stensul email creation platform.”
