Every year, there are a few truly disruptive companies, either because they change the business model, or they are more integrated, or they are open source, or they are just free.

These companies tend to get a lot of investment because they are supposed to change the game. I have selected a list of companies that I follow.

This is the list of the Top SAAS Platforms of 2023:

• Ramp
• Equals
• Merge
• PostHog
• Column
• Codat

Update (14-08-2023):

• Resend
• Linear

Resend

Resend is the best API to reach humans instead of spam folders. Build, test, and deliver transactional emails at scale.

  • Be the first to know if your domain is added to a DNSBL, such as those offered by Spamhaus with removal requests generated by Resend.

  • Send emails from the region closest to your users. Reduce delivery latency with North American, South American, and European regions.
• Build confidence with BIMI.
  • Showcase your logo and company branding with BIMI. Receive guidance to obtain a VMC – the email equivalent of a checkmark on social media.
• Managed Dedicated IPs
  • Get a fully managed dedicated IP that automatically warms up and auto-scales based on your sending volume, with no waiting period.
• Dynamic suppression list
  • Prevent repeated sending to recipients who no longer want your email and comply with standards like the CAN-SPAM Act.
• IP and domain monitoring
  • Monitor your DNS configuration for any errors or regressions. Be notified of any changes that could hinder your deliverability.
• Verify DNS records
  • Protect your reputation by verifying your identity as a legitimate sender. Secure your email communication using DKIM and SPF.
• Battle-tested infrastructure
  • Rely on a platform of reputable IP’s used by trustworthy senders with distributed workloads across different IP pools.
• Prevent spoofing with DMARC.
  • Avoid impersonation by creating DMARC policies and instructing inbox providers on how to treat unauthenticated email.
