NotificationAPi
Est. 2020
Philosophy
When NotificationAPI started in 2020, a prominent VC learned about it through a mutual friend and made us a simple pre-seed investment offer. This made us think hard about the DNA of NotificationAPI.
We had experience with VC and were too familiar with the chaos and growth pressure in venture-backed startups: "Move fast and break things." Honestly, that is great advice for most companies.
But not developer tools.
You can't "move fast and break things" if the devtools you rely on also "move fast and break things.", if they increase their prices as they experiment, or shut down features as they pivot or change org structure.
So, we decided to build the complete opposite:
A stable business without external funding
Heavily focused on quality and affordability
With strong unit economics to do this forever
At our core, we are software craftsmen passionate about building a great product.
- The NotificationAPI Team, inspired by DHH and The Infinite Game

The real treasure are the friends you make along the way. Have some fun.

Build to last. One day your kids' notifications will go through here.
Developers' Club
With the exception of our legal and finance, everyone else at NotificationAPI has an extensive dev background.
Fully Remote
Born in the 2020 pandemic, we are a remote-first company, but also maintain coworking offices in Toronto & St. John's.
Employees > Shareholders
As a growing & profitable company without any VC, we prioritize career joy. If it's snowing, go snowboarding.
