Webinar: Q&A With Carly and Paul
16 days ago by Daniel Randa
SendGrid’s email experts Carly Brantz and Paul Kincaid-Smith hosted a webinar last week offering tips on how to improve your sender reputation.

Carly and Paul wanted to continue the conversation on the SendGrid blog and address some questions they didn’t have time to answer last week.

SendGrid’s First In-House Mobile Hackathon
85 days ago by Elmer Thomas
By all accounts, the first ever SendGrid hosted hackathon was a fantastic success! Both for our team here at SendGrid and those who came to hack with us. As a result, we will definitely hold more hackathons here at our office in Anaheim, locally in Orange County and in other cities around the country.
Before I recap the event, I’d like to give thanks to some of the key people who helped make this hackathon a success. Penny, our office manager at SendGrid, was instrumental in making sure all of the logistics were in order, from initial planning to organizing our workspaces to the “unofficial” after party. Thanks to Tom, our former VP of Engineering for attending the entire event and helping with the final judging.
Special thanks goes out to our wonderful sponsors Heroku and IOGEAR who delighted hackathon winners with awesome prizes. And to all of the attendees, both SendGrid employees and visitors, who made this event fun, educational and entertaining.
Now, on to the good stuff …

A Startup Weekend for the record books: the SLC community is fo realz
89 days ago by Tim Falls
A few weeks ago, I took a tiny plane over the Rockies to Salt Lake City to attend our first Startup Weekend as Global Sponsors. Our good pal (and loyal customer), Al Doan, was the local organizer of @SWSaltLake, and he did an amazing job facilitating the first ever SW for the SLC startup community.
When Al moved to SLC a few months ago, he set out to play a role in strengthening the community. He noticed an untapped potential, given the plethora of talented, intelligent people that seemed to be missing a venue in which they could express themselves and create new things. People told him that a Startup Weekend couldn’t happen – “No one will come out on Sunday” … “It’s been tried before, and it failed,” he was told.
Al wasn’t convinced, and as it turns out, the community was right there with him. Personally, as soon as I found out that Al was behind the effort to bring Startup Weekend to a new city, I was committed, and thus, so was SendGrid. read more
