Case Study: Foundersuite expands email coverage and supports 100,000+ startups with Nylas

Foundersuite serves 100,000+ startups and $21B raised with Nylas

Foundersuite, a fundraising platform for startups, faced a significant engineering challenge maintaining its fragile direct Gmail integration. This recurring maintenance pulled engineers away from core product development. A larger problem was that the lack of Outlook support prevented them from reaching roughly half of their addressable market, causing them to lose potential customers to competitors.

By implementing the Nylas Email API, Foundersuite replaced its problematic integration with a single, provider-agnostic solution. This allowed Nylas to handle the communications infrastructure, eliminating engineering maintenance and enabling support for both Gmail and Outlook users. As a result, Foundersuite expanded its market coverage to virtually all founders and recovered valuable engineering capacity. Since partnering with Nylas in 2018, the platform has supported over 100,000 startups in raising more than $21 billion in capital.
