Today, we’re announcing a $20M Series A led by
@a16z
. Just 2 years ago it was
@saraduit
and
@greggmojica
sitting in San Francisco, hacking away on the first version of Alloy.
Thank you to every customer and partner who’s been on our journey so far 🙏
In the 1.5 years since our founding, our company has been mostly remote due to COVID. But we’re excited to announce that we’ve chosen a city!
Alloy is officially moving to NYC, the hub for DTC and ecomm - we couldnt be more excited 🥳
Starting today, Alloy isn’t just for brands… Introducing our new product for SaaS companies: Alloy Embedded.
SaaS companies can now leverage Alloy to embed and rapidly launch integrations within their platforms.
The best part? Everyone benefits (brands included)👇
We compiled a list of the top email marketing agencies you should be looking at 👀👇
Why use an agency? Email marketing is more than welcome flows. It requires strategy and optimization (anyone at
@klaviyo
will tell you that!).
Done well, email drives revenue and retention.
Since our announcement this morning – we’ve been asked why we raised $20M.
There’s been an explosion in ecommerce software. While it’s great for brands to have more tools, it also means that there is a mess of data and apps that don't integrate.
If we told you that a list of brands are saving roughly 33 hours per week by automating weekly tasks... would you believe us? 👀
The secret: anything that should be automated can be.
Here are a few tasks ecommerce operators never thought could be automated. 👇
Today we’re excited to announce some huge updates to Alloy:
🎨 Brand new user interface
🆓 New pricing plans (including FREE) for merchants of any size
⚡️ 150+ automations inspired by the workflows of top brands
🧩 20+ new integrations - subscriptions, returns, & more
All businesses are limited by cost, team size, and time.
So, what if you could streamline operations to increase the time and resources you have without increasing cost?
Well, that's the power of automation. ⚡
We built a NEW tool for DTC brands! Tell us the apps you use, and we'll give you a customized BFCM checklist–we're not kidding. Try it!
If you think this is cool, share it with a friend or RT 🥰
Time to work smarter, not harder:
Introducing Marketing Automation 101, our new ungated, interactive guide to teach you everything about marketing automation from A-Z! 🚀
We're levelling up the content experience with this one.💪
Enjoy!

To close out the day, our ecosystem of partners is so core to what we do. We can't wait to build more use cases for every single integration on Alloy, and enable our merchants to do more with each new partnership we forge. 👏
We often get asked "what can Alloy do"? Honestly, the answer isn't so simple.
The real question is… "what CAN’T Alloy do?"
To simplify this, we launched a tool that helps folks figure out exactly what Alloy can do.
