Founder story
Founded in 2019 by Martha Bitar and Rebecca Shostak in San Francisco. Rebecca, a designer, and Martha, a business lead, saw that professional email tools were either 'ugly' or 'too complex' for creative founders. They built Flodesk to democratize high-end design, allowing anyone to send emails that look like they were made by an agency.
