Waypoint (YC W21) — The email API built for product teams
Waypoint combines a modern email API with a visual template builder so teams can ship faster. Alternative to SendGrid, MailGun, or Postmark.
Waypoint is a Y Combinator company in the Winter 2021 batch. Its directory entry describes it as: The email API built for product teams. The founders listed are Jordan Isip (Founder), Carlos Rodriguez-Rosario (Founder) (Y Combinator directory entry, May 5, 2021).
Get an email when Waypoint changes status, grows its team or files a funding notice. One email first to confirm; nothing else until you click it. At most one a day, one click to stop. Free for up to 3 companies.

Waypoint is an email API for transactional emails with a visual template builder.
The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.

Founders, titles and bios as the company published them. Photographs are our own copies of the ones on that record, so they do not break when the original link expires.
No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind Waypoint: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
