Textcanon started in 2023 when our founders — tired of clunky interfaces, surprise bills, and impossible-to-explain deliverability problems — decided to build the SMS platform they always wished existed.
In 2022, Marcus was running an e-commerce brand and spending four hours a week manually copying phone numbers into a legacy SMS tool, only to watch 30% of messages bounce with no explanation. He called Aditi — who was building reliability infrastructure at a major telecom — and said: "There has to be a better way."
Six months of customer research confirmed the problem was widespread. Small and mid-sized businesses were either overpaying for enterprise platforms they didn't need, or using consumer-grade tools that couldn't handle real volume.
Textcanon was built from the ground up to fill that gap: professional-grade deliverability, developer-friendly APIs, a clean interface, and pricing that actually scales with your business — not against it.
Three years of relentless focus on a single goal: make SMS marketing work the way businesses actually need it to.
Textcanon was incorporated after six months of customer research into the broken state of SMS marketing tooling.
Reached our first 100 paying businesses within 90 days of launch, validating the product-market fit.
Crossed the one-million message milestone — a proof point that reliable deliverability scales with volume.
Expanded globally with teams in Europe and North America, onboarding businesses across 70+ countries.
Ten million messages delivered with an industry-leading 99.2% uptime SLA maintained every quarter.
Launched the Textcanon developer API, enabling custom integrations and programmatic campaign management at scale.
