Nylas is a communications API platform that enables developers to integrate email, calendaring, scheduling and other productivity tools into applications with a few lines of code. Its product set includes email integrations for major providers (including IMAP), scheduling and calendaring APIs, a neural API for sentiment analysis and workflow automation, and security integrations to streamline OAuth reviews. The company processes roughly 1.2 billion API requests per day, moving about 20 terabytes of data daily, and reports 80,000 developers using its platform. Revenue growth has tripled in the past 12 months, though the company is not disclosing a valuation for this round. Nylas plans to use the new funding to expand the types of APIs it offers, with a particular focus on AI and automation to drive more workflow efficiency. The platform targets businesses seeking to reduce the time and complexity of building integrations between siloed productivity tools and their own applications. Nylas offers a universal communications API platform that lets developers connect applications to every email, calendar, and contacts provider and process unstructured communications data in days. The company says its solution saves customers an average of 16 months and $2M in up-front development costs and provides SOC 2 certified, GDPR compliant, Privacy Shield certified, and HIPAA- and FINRA-ready integrations. Over 40,000 developers use Nylas to process more than 1.2 billion API requests and sync 15TB of data daily, and the company serves over 450 customers including Comcast, Hyundai, Realtor.com, Dialpad, Freshworks, Pipedrive, Qualia, and Clio. Nylas recently acquired June.ai and is integrating its AI-powered productivity tools to expand the platform into intelligent workflow automation. The company plans to use new funding to scale sales and marketing and accelerate product innovation. Nylas also plans to double its workforce over the next 12 months and is hiring across San Francisco, New York City, and Denver while building a dedicated engineering team in Toronto. Nylas offers an API that lets developers connect to email, calendar and contact information from services like Gmail, Microsoft Exchange and IMAP providers. The company builds adapters for native protocols and backend providers (Google, GoDaddy, Yahoo) to simplify access to mailbox data. Its product is used to pull data for use cases such as CRM integration and multi-person meeting coordination. Nylas has been around for five years and operates with offices in New York and San Francisco. The company currently has 35 employees, counts 200 customers and serves thousands of developers. With new funding, Nylas plans to double headcount by the end of the year and expand engineering, sales and marketing efforts to reach more corporate customers. Nylas provides APIs for email, calendars, and contacts that enable bi-directional email sync and send features in SaaS products. Its platform integrates with all email service providers and targets marketing, sales and recruiting professionals. The company has synced more than 100 terabytes of data from more than 15 billion emails. Nylas' APIs power features across CRM, marketing automation, recruiting, scheduling, legal and real estate platforms.
