Overview

Sendoso offers a marketplace of roughly 30,000 products (corporate swag, physical gifts, gift cards) and end-to-end services—including logistics, packing and personalized touches—to enable sales, marketing and HR gifting programs. Its platform integrates with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot and SalesLoft to automate and analyze gifting campaigns. The company says it has more than 20,000 business customers and has sent some 3 million gifts since launching in 2016. Sendoso positions itself as combining marketplace selection and logistics precision with personalized packaging and handwritten notes to scale bespoke gifting. It currently employs about 500 people and plans to grow headcount by roughly 30% by the end of the year. The company is expanding internationally and is setting up a European HQ in Dublin to complement its San Francisco office. Sendoso offers a "sending platform" that connects customer software and CRM tooling to its fulfillment and warehouse services to mail personalized items, including perishables. The productized service grew out of CEO Kris Rudeegraap's prior sales practice of sending corporate swag and handwritten notes. The company integrates digital and physical sending strategies into go-to-market programs and links customers to its warehouses to assist with shipping. Sendoso has a growing warehouse and shipping footprint and the article notes potential for broader sending use cases over time. Financially, Sendoso reported total revenue growth of 330% in 2019 versus 2018. The company appears focused on helping companies send gifts and personalized items to prospects and teams. Sendoso offers a cloud-based sending platform that automates delivery and fulfillment, simplifies ROI reporting, and provides intelligent suggestions for what to send. The platform integrates with Salesforce, SurveyMonkey, Marketo, Eloqua, HubSpot, Pardot and others to tie sends to marketing and sales workflows. It supports direct mail, personalized gifts, handwritten notes penned by employees, customer rewards, plants, wine, sweets, treats, and eGift cards from hundreds of vendors. Led by co-founder and CEO Kris Rudeegraap, Sendoso operates out of offices in San Francisco and Arizona and maintains five global warehouses. The company has raised approximately $14M to date and intends to use new funds to continue scaling operations across its offices and warehouses. Sendoso operates a subscription-based service that enables companies to send customized physical gifts and handwritten notes at scale, integrating with platforms like Salesforce, Marketo and Engagio. The company sources, stores and ships items — including receiving products from places like Amazon, repackaging them, and dispatching via major carriers — and claims hundreds of vendor relationships and six warehouses, including an 80,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas. It charges a monthly subscription fee based on a company’s number of users and sending volume, and serves both startups and large enterprises with clients such as LiveRamp, ProCore and TalkDesk. Sendoso employs about 110 full-time staff and leverages relationships with dozens of additional workers to handle demand. The service is available in 15 countries and the company plans to use new funding to bolster headcount and accelerate expansion beyond those markets. CEO and co-founder Kris Rudeegraap founded Sendoso in 2016 in San Francisco.
