Webmail.us + Rackspace: The Most Dominant Force in Business Email?
I think so! But maybe I'm a little biased.
As you may have seen, we announced today that we are merging with Rackspace. I am extremely pumped about joining forces with the Racker crew and continuing to build our business with such a great group of people. This is a really exciting time for our company, all of our people, our community, and our customers.
Inside Webmail, we have been positioning this as Phase II of our company history. We believe that during this phase the market is really going to open up, leaders are going to emerge, and followers are going to fall behind. We thought long and hard about how to make sure we're positioned to be the leader in our space and we feel that aligning with Rackspace is the answer.
One thing I want to be really clear about: this is by no means an exit strategy for any of us. Bill, Kevin, and I are super-driven and so is the rest of our team. We are as bullish as ever about where this industry is headed and the leadership role that's at stake.
The last few months have been an unbelievable time for me personally. I feel extremely privileged to be going through these times as an entrepreneur and I am excited to share my experiences with many of you in the coming months and years. Stay tuned!
