Reinventing email for this century

The web's evolved — we've got AI art, self-driving cars… and email that still thinks it's 2005. We're over it. No more table hell. No more mystery bounces. Just modern email, built like it belongs in 2025.

Brightlight started as a side project in 2022 after one too many rage-quits over broken email templates. We were tired of wrangling tables, inline styles, and mystery bugs that only appeared in Outlook 2010.

But that was just the beginning.

The deeper we dug, the more we realized: the real nightmare wasn’t the design — it was deliverability. Emails disappearing into spam folders like they were never born? Not on our watch.

So in 2023, we launched Brightlight — a fully modern email delivery platform. No duct tape. No black magic. Just clean APIs, fast delivery, and emails that actually show up.

We're building Brightlight to make email feel less like a relic, and more like the powerful tool it was always meant to be. Join us — it's about to get good.

Meet the humans behind the madness

We’re a remote crew hell-bent on fixing email for developers — because someone had to do it, and no one else was volunteering.

Team

What Drives Us (Besides Caffeine)

These are the non-negotiables—the opinions we’ll die on a hill for. They shape how we work, what we build, and when we say “nope.”

Default to action

Regardless of your role, we’re all makers. And makers don’t wait around for instructions. If something's broken, we fix it. If something’s unclear, we clarify. No committee meetings, just initiative. Pull requests over PowerPoints — every time.

No ego

You don’t need to be the smartest person in the Zoom call — just helpful. At Brightlight, asking for help is encouraged, not frowned upon. We're all here to build, not battle.

Keep shipping

We don’t worship pixel-perfection. We worship momentum. Ship fast, learn faster, and improve continuously. The best v1 is the one that’s out the door.

Do work that inspires

We don’t aim for “fine.” We aim for “damn, that’s cool.” Whether it’s code, design, or copy — details matter. Quality isn’t a bonus; it’s the baseline.

Bankrolled by the Brains Behind Your Favorite Apps

We're lucky (and smart) enough to have investors whose fingerprints are all over the internet. Odds are, you're already using something they helped fund — you're welcome.
