stensul Announces $7 Million in Series A Funding to Transform the Way Email Marketers Work

Javelin Venture Partners Leads Funding Round with Arthur Ventures, First Round Capital, Uncork Capital, Lowercase Capital and Scott McCorkle

stensul Inc., a technology company focused on transforming the way email marketers work, announced today that it has completed a $7 million Series A funding round. Javelin Venture Partners led the round, with participation from Arthur Ventures, First Round Capital, Uncork Capital, Lowercase Capital and Scott McCorkle (former President of ExactTarget and CEO of Salesforce Marketing Cloud). The funding will primarily be used to continue growing the team and further accelerate the success the company has already seen amongst enterprise customers.

“stensul has zeroed in on a massive problem space hiding in plain sight. Email Marketing is used by every large company in the world, and the amount of time and money spent on email creation is far more than most people realize,” said Alex Gurevich, Managing Director at Javelin Venture Partners. “The quality of top-tier customers that stensul has been able to bring on made it clear to us that they have a solution that really delivers value on day 1.”

stensul’s mission is to transform the way email marketers work, enabling them to spend more time on driving outcomes, and less time in the actual production process. By using technology to change where the work happens, teams are able to be agiler, test more, and optimize where resources are focused.

“If you look at the marketing emails in your inbox, whether B2B or B2C, if they came from a large company, I can pretty much guarantee you that it took weeks of a very painful and expensive process to make each one,” said Noah Dinkin, Founder and CEO of stensul. “With stensul, a non-technical user can create a perfect, on-brand email in less than 20 minutes, which is transformational on a number of levels. It’s amazing to see these marketers literally applauding when they see how the platform increases output by 10x.”

To support the company’s growth, stensul has filled two key leadership roles. Manny Ataebi (former marketing leader at Ghostery, Logicworks, and ConveyIQ) joins stensul as VP Marketing & Sales Development, and Jesse Brightman (formerly of Percolate and VaynerMedia) joins as Head of Customer Success.

“Getting the right people in place is everything as we capture the opportunity on our doorstep,” said Dinkin. “Manny and Jesse are both seasoned leaders who will supercharge stensul’s growth and ability to deliver massive value for our customers. In the short time, they’ve been with the team, momentum has accelerated, and I am certain that things are just getting started.”
